it's really sad that just pointing out logical mistakes in someone's post gets you attacked, and ppl even accuse you of using AI like it's changing anything. we seriously need a proper public campaign to teach folks how to actually have real discussions again and to spot weak or irrelevant arguments

this comment was AI generated or was it

discuss

order

I am very happy if it made a few people think and/or get upset!

My comment was totally AI generated, obviously. But as you lovingly touched on, it is irrelevant :)

They didn’t. They mis-applied fallacies and in one case made one up. There was no substantial good-faith response to OP’s argument. Instead we got a shallow dismissal masked in the language (but not substance) of logic.

It was fun to engage with! But not meaningful. The online-commenting equivalent of scrolling short-form videos and getting enraged or delighted or awe-struck for a picosecond.

Can you elaborate how the other fallacies were mis-applied, please?
