I replied on that thread, but I’m copying it over for transparency:
If that reads as beratement, I do apologize as a self crit. Yet if I were to hold the same level of consideration, there are many comments in this post that also warrant removal because I certainly don’t feel respected
To the point of complaining isn’t useful, that’s why I also included resources for anyone who wants to learn. Not a defense, but reflecting intention
Moreover, I accept the criticism that there are more helpful approaches. It would take much more time to correct the factual errors but that would be a start
Personally I don’t see how asking people not to post AI generated information vs linking to human based and vetted resources is gatekeeping, but I accept that standard if it is
All that said, i just realized we don’t have any explicit rules against misinformation, which was my fundamental issue.
As an aside, and as someone who cares about language and non violent communication, I don’t think I made any personal attack upon the poster. I talked about my feelings, not the poster themselves.
It’s one of my personal pet peeves when people misconstrue my words
If there was a problem with the information provided, or factual mistakes, then it would be perfectly reasonable to point that out and provide sources you prefer using. However, simply attacking the post for using LLM summary is not constructive or helpful. Misinformation is something being factually wrong not coming from a source you don’t like.
Meanwhile, it should be pretty clear that coming in to tell people that they’re posting slop is an attack on them. Somebody spent time learning something new, they wanted to share it. You came in and started berating them. If you don’t understand how that’s an attack then perhaps do a bit of self reflection.
