Wow, that’s needlessly aggressive, but you do you.

I wonder what it is about this subject that makes people so angry? I think I’ll settle on status. People are afraid of having their social status taken away by AI and become irate at the thought of it.

My response to you has no bearing whatsoever on the subject of this thread. I work at a successful AI startup and am set to retire for life comfortably no matter what happens. It's your specific class of action that irritates me. These orange websites are plagued by people intentionally misrepresenting other people's words and telling them they're wrong based on things they didn't actually say. It's the most annoying, detrimental-to-conversation kind of comment you can possibly make. And it does pedantry a bad name! There's nothing wrong with being pedantic, and drilling into the details to get everything right. But drilling into the details and getting them wrong is offensive and the only purpose it serves is to annoy everyone around you.

Going back to my programming example, suppose your compiler decided to interpret 'var x = 2' as a string and then told you you were wrong, throwing an error instead of compiling your program, even though it's the compiler being defective and not adhering to the established language rules for type inference. That's you, in this conversation. That does not add to the conversation. The compiler needs to be fixed so it stops doing that.
