Turning conversations away from nuance and towards black/white thinking is precisely why we're in an increasingly polarized society.

You may see it as a means towards the collective action you'd prefer, but your argument is that sheep are easier to herd towards a goal you've already determined is "right" without inviting critical thought or analysis when you don't allow for nuance.

Even if true, I disagree with both your assertion that "organizing against AI" is the right path forward, and the approach to engaging in discourse.

I mean, you have AI in your name, of course you don’t :p

I also don’t really think the problem with society is that we’re ‘polarized’, a viewpoint which believes that there are merits to “both sides” of human rights issues.

Must be nice to live in a world without trolley problems.
