      The original comment I’m responding to listed two biases of the Fediverse’s population:

      • AI bad
      • Piracy ok

      All that I’m saying - and that you are, as far as I can tell, agreeing with - is that in the situation where “piracy ok” and “AI bad” overlap the “AI bad” bias prevails. People who were cheering piracy moments earlier stop and go “no, not like that.”

      As far as I can see, you’re saying the same thing. You’re just trying to justify why you’re saying “no, not like that.” Which is not relevant to the basic point I was making.

        You’re both arguing anchored on hyper-reductive takes on what people think.

        People who think “Piracy OK” rarelly think that “All Piracy is OK” (for example people who think Piracy for personal profit is OK are pretty rare) and similarly those who think “AI is bad” seldom think it’s all bad (I have yet to hear a negative take on AI Character Recognition)

        If one takes those two sentences as absolutes with none of that nuance and then extrapolates from such artificially narrowed premises, then of course the result will be ridiculous and contradictory.

          If you go back to my original comment you’ll see that I said:

          I’ve seen threads in the main piracy community where the general consensus seemed to be that copyright should be used as a weapon against AI.

          That’s the “Piracy OK” side, so yes, there is hypocrisy there. I’m reminded of the classic “what kind of woman do you think I am?” story.
