  • Depends what you mean by AI and by legitimate.

    So far it seems to be super useful for the following topics:

    • customer support (super annoying if you cannot directly forward to a human)
    • programming (especially web development; only as a tool)
    • finding rhymes
    • writing checkers (only as a tool)
    • (log) anomaly detection
    • computer vision

    If you consider moral in “legitimate”, you might dislike programming, customer support and writing checkers as these replace jobs. However, I strongly believe in AI tax and redistributing that money towards everyone especially affected jobs (artists, …). I feel like artificially limiting the applicability will just be a loss to the global market unless something similar is achieved by figuring out the copyright issues.





  • I can’t follow how I am conflating them or how I am using them colloquially. I am not sure if conflating makes sense here.

    I am not American. When I speak about conservative and liberal I am not speaking about political parties in America.

    Using Wikipedia as a source in a paper is not a good idea. This is not a paper. (I have written an essay on Nozick’s libertarianism when I studied philosophy though; it’s been ages so can’t remember much, but I didn’t use wikipedia there :P)


  • I hate how these terms are used colloquially. Here are wikipedia’s definitions:

    Conservatism is a cultural, social, and political philosophy and ideology that seeks to promote and preserve traditional institutions, customs, and values.

    Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property, and equality before the law.

    So no. The definitions are very different. Now you can say that liberals and conservatives are similar in your country or that you live in liberalism and therefore trying to keep it is conservatism, but there is no necessary overlap afaik.
