The LLM provided an answer that has superior quality or equal quality to a human. Then instead of judging the statement rationally on this quality we decided to judge the question on whether or not it was AI.

This is the same irrationality we used to discriminate humans. There is no difference in logic. The reasoning you used here about how LLMs are not equivalent to human beings is the same reasoning Hitler used on Jewish people.

And here’s the thing. I agree with you. If you gassed and holocausted LLMs wouldn’t give two shits.

The main point here is that the logic and irrationality and evil present in racism is all at work here. We are literally being discriminatory, there’s no difference. Everyone missed the point about the quality of the statement itself and immediately based their judgement on whether or not it’s AI as if that was actually a rational thing to do. (It’s not).
