> The article itself is clueless… it doesn’t engage authors’ concerns at all, and just portrays authors as stoopid AI-fearful luddites.

Going off of some of the tweets about this that initially whipped up the outrage about this…it’s not like they were making a nuanced case about their concerns, they were basically just stomping their feet and shouting.



That's twitter generally.

If your engagement only reaches the level of twitter, you aren't really engaging at all.


So as long as that's all the engagement there is, we're free to ignore it and carry on, correct?


I would think so. If someone is shouting & stomping their feet in the public town square about my project, but I never go anywhere near the town square anyway, I don’t think I’m going to shutdown my project. It’s just too bad the person who created this tool happened to walk through the town square.


I think you're fishing for a way to dismiss the concerns of the authors without understanding or addressing them, which is pointless.
