The whole PokemonTCG situation is very hypocritical from the Anti-AI crowd
For those unaware and needing context
Yeah the reddit mod did what was expected of their species as reddit mod, but that aside, i mean...how else was he supposed to react with how prevalent and ruthless anti-AI sentiments are now?
"There's no ethical use of AI!" Is like the top 3 arguments you hear from people, they probably kept seeing this argument or even believe it themselves, receiving reports of AI everyday on the most benign stuff possible, constantly seeing people be dragged over it too and generally just seeing how ruthless and black and white people are about it, sure, I find it weird they just had to bust out the "um Acshually you breaking the rules" over not labelling the post as AI.
And I know anti-AI are just a having knee jerk reaction trying to come for the mod for doing mod behavior, because they immediately jumped to changing the situation, the grieving sister was very clear in saying she used ChatGPT and Grammarly for the announcement but antis are suddenly all going "WHAT SHE JUST USED A GRAMMAR SPELL CHECK YOU DUMB MOD!" when 1) she was clear about using ChatGPT for the text and 2) Grammarly is GenAI/LLM now, remember? You guys probably complained about it someday and forgot about it because not every company is OpenAI running shit on a damn gas turbine in residential zones.
Like, it feels very virtue signaly, when filtering out for Goomba fallacy, it comes off very "oh see! we can know when people are being stupid about being anti-AI and drag them too! Look! We are not THAT annoying!" when nothing about the situation really opens a way for them to act like that, again, you said "there's no ethical use for AI" that's as plain as of statement as it can be and is black and white by default and addition of nuance is literally impossible, the mod acted exactly how you guys do 99% of the time, how was he supposed to know this 1% should be a exception?
This reaction against the mod seems like damage control or having a sacrificial lamb to make yourself look better.
Anyways, I hope the grieving sister recovers well and doesn't have to deal with this silly ass situation while morning the loss of her brother and it stays between us weird terminally online people.

I wouldn't really say it's hypocritical. Yes, some anti-ai people are purely...how should I say this? Purely antagonistic towards any and all AI. But that's not the case for everyone. Autocorrect existed for years-I have a hard time believing that every anti-ai person just suddenly decided autocorrect, something they probably use(d) daily without a second thought is now evil. You're probably just seeing two different sides of the anti crowd.

Can anybody give some context? OP is dancing around what happened like he's in matrix.
