  • The math was not the funny part, the funny part was them discussing something that had already been included in the article.

    When asked about their purposes for using AI-generated content in daily life (multiple answers allowed), the most common overall response was information retrieval and research at 76.4%, followed by writing and editing texts at 33.9%, and seeking advice at 23.3%. Information retrieval remained the top choice across all age groups, but seeking advice ranked second among teenage girls and third among women in their 20s to 40s and men in their 30s.

    38.6% of respondents said they “very trust” or “somewhat trust” advice from AI-generated sources regarding relationships and social interactions. Trust levels were higher among younger generations, with over half of those in their teens and twenties expressing this trust. Among teenage girls, the figure reached 63.1%.

    As I say above, it’s funny to me that neither of them translated the article.



  • Correct, my question is because the article outright states the number:

Trust levels were higher among younger generations, with over half of those in their teens and twenties expressing this trust. Among teenage girls, the figure reached 63.1%.

    Going off saying ‘you don’t understand the numbers’ when neither of you have translated the article seemed genuinely funny to me.

    Edit: I should say, I recognize you understand the numbers — I was not calling out your math.




  • I think I should try to be less provocative with my words. Stomping into a conversation with loaded language is not the best way to get my points across, thank you for your demeanor.

    It’s probably like a sleeper activation phrase to me at this point and I got annoyed.

    I’m sorry, I specifically choose terms like this to set people off. I want them to figure out what actually triggers them about how I’m using the phrase and whether or not it’s valid.

    I would just like us all to be a little more aware about the whats and whys surrounding things we get emotional about. Otherwise our emotions will inevitably be used against us, directly or indirectly.


  • I didn’t bother discussing how online leftist infighting affects real life, it’s not relevant compared to, say, the much realer issue of left-orgs blowing up because of, say, someone being outed as a sex pest or someone slandering someone they don’t like anymore (which isn’t an issue only relegated to the left, the right does this way more often)

    Please don’t get me wrong, my motivations were not ‘both sides’ or something along those lines. Maybe not obviously, but it’s clear to me that we both believe the side bringing measles back is the wrong one.

    My problem is that these terminally online leftist spaces end up being the narrative sent to (or experienced by) the brainwashed masses on the right. Simply not engaging with an online space is ineffective when trying to combat their manipulation of word of mouth messaging.

    I’m not trying to argue for the right to say slurs. Unless they’re directed at conservatives, then I’m conflicted.


  • Yeah I have no issue with not saying slurs (and saying I can’t say slurs is fucking dumb, I choose not to because I understand why I shouldn’t — not because trogs on their high horses tell me no), my problem is that you took the phrase ‘shit like tone policing’ and immediately assumed this must be the singular problem I have with how the left communicates. Thus spurring on an entire comment on why the left doesn’t communicate with the right.

    I’m not suggesting the left communicate with the right, at all. I’m suggesting the left needs to learn how to communicate amongst itself because things like no no words end up functioning as thought terminating cliches — see your entire comment for reference.
