    All the things you listed are tools … ai is an automaton. A human gives it an instruction and it performs a process fully independent of human action.

    Computers are tools in exactly the same way. A person isn’t moving data from one memory location to another. That’s automated by the processor.

    You could say the same about a table saw: a human isn’t separating sequences of molecules with their hands, it’s automated by a machine.

    AI is not different from the above tools.

    My argument isn’t “bad faith” just because you disagree with it; your lack of understanding is not sufficient to disprove the assertion. Come prepared, or don’t come.

    digital artists aren’t real artists because they’re using a computer to create art

    woodworkers aren’t real artists because they’re using a table saw and glue to create art

    poets aren’t real artists because they’re using a dictionary and thesaurus to create art

    chefs aren’t real artists because they’re using an immersion blender and gas range to create art









  • Around the world, MSM (men who have sex with men - not necessarily gay) are 25 times more likely than average to contract HIV, reports UNAIDS. (healthline).

    Among MSM, Black and Hispanic men are at higher risk than white men of contracting the virus, reports the CDC.

    This may be because, according to a 2017 source, Black and Hispanic men are less likely to take preventive medication. The reasons for this include the stigma surrounding same-sex experiences and enduring racism, discrimination, and racist systems.

    Also, HIV also tends to affect people in under-resourced communities with less access to preventive HIV care.

    Physical factors include the protective lining of the anus being thinner than the wall of the vagina, increasing the risk of transmission.
