Thank you for trying to fight the irrational anti-AI brainrot on lemmy! It’s probably a lost cause, but your efforts are appreciated :)

It’s an uphill battle. Lots of motivated reasoning and bad faith arguments

e: looks like Cloudflare is adding this distinction in their control panel. So it seems like they, too disagree with the brain rot. Source: https://lemmy.world/post/34677771/18880370
