Censoring content isn't the same as recommending content though. The OP was referring to recommendation algorithms specifically.

that's gonna be a very very expensive phone

yes... lol people on HackerNews tend to do this a lot and it really does get annoying. it forces the reader to process what you're trying to say unnecessarily.

yup and when you DO catch it spitting out nonsense. it"ll say "oh you right, let me change that".. 🙄 like, why do I have to tell you that you're wrong about something? You should already know it's wrong and fix it without me ever pointing it out.

sounds like you just need an RSS reader

It really irks me when people change the titles of the articles they link to to try to fit their narrative. Because sadly people dont really click through to the article. Just share the real title and give your commentary on the comments.

Been complaining about the RSS bots for years. They pollute feeds and search results too. If people want to see RSS feed content, just subscribe to it in your RSS reader.

You can just subscribe to Lemmy in your RSS reader. Then you'll still have it in one place: your RSS reader. :)

What if I told you you were debating with a 14 year old who's using AI to sound cool?

I think the person you replied to is just assuming it's off by default. But if there's a kill switch, that implies that it's on. And if not, there wouldn't be any need for a kill switch.

I’ve seen some people claim that free speech doesn’t apply on servers like reddit because they are privately owned. So Constitutional rights don’t extend to private property?

Not when you don't have a right to be on said property. If you come in my house using language I don't approve of, I will ask u to leave and you will :)

I would refute most of the other arguments you made, but full of logical fallacies. Would take too long. Genuinely curious though: how old are you?

Is this really new just because AI is here, though? Even before AI, any kid that was an over-achiever, actually studied unlike their peers, continues to work harder to achieve greater things (even when the masses don't) experiences this exact same path all their life.
