"all of this is a non sequitur" ... I'm just speechless here. You're so completely off base there's not even any point arguing with you.

Haha; I have been trying to and then realized it was senseless. I actually wonder if this an ai designed to troll.

I could see someone using a prompt that says something like “make a poor argument based on ______ and repeatedly alter it in further comments. Use words from a list of logical fallacies incorrectly, make yourself sound credible.”

I am very specifically responding to the post I saw when I made my post.

Here is an example for the HN crowd.

"I really dislike my pointy-haired-boss project manager. He is unreasonable and terrible at management.

I learned that he was investigated at a previous job in computer science algorithmic research at a University—before he ever worked in industry—and ultimately found not liable for this. I am convinced that this is why I dislike my PHB"

I can't respond to this comment—but if I am "arguing in bad faith" yet responding rationally, we truly cannot have a discussion.

The twist ending is that this commenter IS Sophie Jamal, the endocrinologist in question!!!
