Many countries include ‘Democratic’ or ‘People’s’ in their names, even though they are not democratic and do not serve their people. Examples: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Lao People’s Democratic Republic People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria Democratic Republic of the Congo And German Democratic Republic (East Side) in 1949–1990. None of these states are democratic, power and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a small ruling elite. Who are they fooling with these names?

    Because this isn’t supposed to be repository of knowledge, it’s a social place for humans to talk to other humans.

    It can be both, there’s plenty of people posting links to external sources on here. Like if someone posts an article, they aren’t necessarily trying to engage in conversation, they’re just trying to get the knowledge of that article out.

    Yeah a lot of stuff on here is more about sharing opinions, and I’m not going to post an AI response to a “what’s your favorite pizza topping thread” but threads like this where it’s more of a matter of fact then one of opinion, AI is fine if it gets the fact right.

    you’re poisoning the well, and setting a norm where trust is eroded even further.

    You can still trust me because I read the response and made sure that it matched my understanding of the subject. I take full responsibility for the post and if it’s wrong then someone is right to call me out, and I take responsibility for defending it. But no one is calling me out for the facts of the post, only you are getting mad at the origin.

    AI output is like farts; people only like the smell of their own. If you couldn’t bothered writing it, then how disrespectful is it to waste other people’s time expecting them to read it?

    If this were true then nobody would’ve upvoted it and there would be a bunch of comments calling it low quality slop. Hell the fact a post like this didn’t get hate either from the liberals or the MLs on a topic like this shows it’s quality and nuance
