There are many, many effective ways to oppose AI. Dehumanizing everyone that uses it isn't one of them.

Dehumanization is a line I won't cross, maybe with the exception of Nazis. This is a little too casual.

    Dehumanization

    Feels a bit unproductive to just call this dehumanization. It could be that sure, but it could also be discussing a kind of real issue of people turning off their higher reasoning and just handing it all over to LLMs. People are treating anything the LLM says as an absolute source of truth and that's incredibly dangerous as a society - they're essentially willingly becoming literal NPCs whose thoughts are set by whoever decides whatever stances the LLMs should take.

    E.g. I've recently seen LLMs take ultra conservative stances towards safety calling benign actions dangerous and when asked to find sources literally lie about what sources they find and cite say.

    It totally is dehumanizing, no matter how you turn things. Once someone you disagree with is called an NPC there is no meaning in listening to them or respecting them. You can see in this very comment section people saying that those NPC already "gave up living their life"...
