It behooves you to not write like that if you don’t want people dehumanizing you.

If stupid people choose to dehumanize based on stupid rules, that is not my problem.

Screw them. I was writing like that before AI came along, and I won’t change just because it offends their delicate sensibilities.

I have to strongly disagree with you on this. It behooves us (as a species) not to degrade our own manner of speaking and writing simply because of a (possibly temporary) technical anomaly.

In my view, it would be really, really sad to lose expressive punctuation or ways of constructing sentences simply because they're overused by AI.

I, for one, won't be a part of that, and I hope you won't, either.
