Calling something “AI” isn’t an argument — it’s a mantra. - It gets repeated like it proves something… but it doesn’t address facts, logic, or evidence. It just signals that the person saying it doesn’t really understand what AI is. Sadly, some people don't know what AI actually is or even the difference between a source and a search engine or the difference between search and research – if they did, they probably would never have become conspiracy theorists.. Most people using “AI” as a dismissal seem to think it’s just a search engine that spits out answers. It isn’t. And ironically, they’re probably using AI all day without even realising it. e.g. Face ID on your phone. Google Maps routing your journey. Netflix or Spotify recommendations. Spam filters catching junk mail. Social media feeds deciding what you see. - All AI. AI is just a tool — like a calculator, or a spellchecker. It can be used well or badly. The output still needs to be judged on its accuracy, not dismissed because of how it was produced. I’m dyslexic, so I use tools like Grammarly. What’s your favourite? So the question isn’t “is it AI?” - The question is: is it correct? If you disagree with something, explain why. Point out the flaw. Challenge the reasoning. Because saying “that’s AI” isn’t debate. It’s avoidance.
