@rorysutherland I dislike the “how was x on a scale of 1-5?” surveys because I suspect they are to provide cover and validation for enshittification. That I’ll be represented on a bar chart at a management meeting to say, “look we cut expenditure in this area and the bozos didn’t even notice!”
@Saraita101@victorcarbunkle I get this as an oncologist. But it’s very unsettling because AI throws up totally different questions than a human would have thought of. Which means very frequently I have literally never had to consider the answer to that question before.
@anonymuzzzzzz@LePib2@papiwontmiss I think JKR put a bit into Goblet of Fire where Hermione tells Krum how to pronounce her name specifically because people kept pronouncing it wrong IRL.
@steven_boult@ChezBruce But lots of vegetarians used to eat meat at one time. I would guess the majority based on vegetarians I know personally. So they know what it tastes like and they know they like it. They just don’t like where it comes from.
@praeteritia@SnazzyLabs But it’s not a straw man if someone says “your argument would only be correct if these [entirely normal and common] conditions were met,” and then those conditions are indeed met.
@elisabet_bakari@gdholtby@bonchieredstate Apparently for some people it is hard to remember. Put it this way, I guarantee not even the most deranged European has ever been surprised by ice not melting at -2C.
@AnyaM8_ It’s also a rare example of “begging the question” that is actually the logical fallacy, and not the other thing of, feeling that a question has been left unanswered.
@anon_opin Even on the quiz machines they long ago did away with the games where the computer couldn’t 100% control the outcome (“pub quiz” and “trivia for dummies”) and now all of them have some aspect of dice roll or other “random” chance device that the computer controls.
