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.
Comment on 'AI' is a completely meaningless word now

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.

Yeah, it’s unfortunate. I think the underlying issue is that something (not sure what, might be the way social media works, might be the economic rat race, might be something else I can’t think of right now) is making people lose the capacity to have a calm, well-meaning, nuanced, good-faith discussion where it’s not “us vs them”.
