Me: Puts time and effort into curating a reading list (nb: this is not my day job) to help people with navigating this bananas moment where the media is captured by all the worst AI bros, posts link here on the Fedi.
Mansplainer in my replies on Mastodon: "It's just marketing"
Me: YES, I KNOW. Also, do you realize it's possible to either keep your thoughts to your self or just post on your own feed? Sheesh.
@emilymbender
I guess all of this manspalining is a reflection of both deep-seated frustration about our leadership’s complicity/naiveté and a salve against the constant barage of the ponzi scheme marketing/propaganda. It may be hard to tolerate, but it’s understandable.
I find the most tiresome toot are from peeps who parrot the marketing lines as well as those who do not bother to specify what *type* of AI they are championing.
Be well Professor
@RaymondPierreL3 I do not need the mansplaining mansplained. No idea why you thought that might be welcome.
@emilymbender
Wow,, I did not expect that response.
I thought this was a **social media** platform. Sorry, I’ll get off this *professional and select discussion group* and I guess there’s no reason to follow you anymore.
Be well.
You didn't just mansplain the mansplaining, you *attempted to justify* it to someone who was expressing frustration with it. You might want to reflect on why you got the reaction you did
EDIT! i didn't boost this to stoke piling on to this person. i am just so fed up with this behavior and want others to see it and recognize the issues
