While I try to specify it by saying "GenAI" instead of AI for clarity, I think this is a complete asshole approach to it and wouldn't work. Maybe block the individual chat message, but if I got permabanned over one completely normal acronym, I'd decide the guy is an asshole and double down against him.

If the type of AI being talked about isn't clear to you, ask nicely for clarification.

    No, you can't ask somebody to clarify. At this moment you are already blocked because you dared to insinuate that there are other kinds of AI.

    Also, if it was me being asked to clarify, I'd respond with "oh yeah, my bad, I meant GenAI. Sorry"

    You underestimate how much hate GenAI (rightfully) receives. Especially from people who don't know that there are different kinds of AI.

    For them you are either a bootlicker or you are sealioning. AI is a topic of no further questions. You either agree or you are blocked, downvoted, banned.

  • Okay, if someone blocked me on my stream (if I had one) and kept commenting (I'm not sure how it works, can they still comment if they block me, can I see it? and if they're still watching my stream, does the block even mean anything?) then I might consider a temporary ban, and only escalate it to a permaban if they persist. But if it's somewhere else, I'd say it's for the better. I'd rather have them block me than waste both of our time with an argument with someone who won't say anything worth hearing and doesn't want to listen to anything I say.

    Going for the nuclear option first is part of his culture. He is from a country with political talk shows where people are casually talking about bombing European capitals.

    Of course he won't permaban anybody. People watching his streams are how he makes a living.
