Did as kind of a prework for some potential article/video essay I might or might not make.

Originally thought of making a proper meme with less text, but couldn't at the moment, though I could probably turn the bottom one into a cartoon or something.

This is a fallacy in alot of things the best option isnt always the middle of 2 options, like being a moderate on slavery would be bad

    True centrism isn't about taking the middle of the two sides. It's taking what works from both sides while not taking the bad. Sometimes you take the middle, other times the right, or the left

    Issue is, the "center" is whatever the establishment allows. One reason why I added the bottom one, which mirrors racism definitions onto AI (except there's real problems with extreme AI pushing, unlike with the supposed anti-racism extremism, where the worst thing usually is pretending that a 10 year old tweet still holds water).

    I don't think a horseshoe fits this "AI centrist" fallacy, especially as the "centrists" only ever talk about hypothetical problems, such as "what if AI is true intelligence" or "AI is too dangerous because it's too powerful", never about costs, copyright infringiment, psychosis, dead internet and lack of meaningful productivity. They're such blatant boosters that it's not even worth calling them centrists.
