Isn't this what exactly you'd expect in a connected world? The best arguments from both sides proliferate, thereby causing "The same arguments and tropes are echoing through every thread".

I would expect a figurative war for human attention. With so much information being available, everyone would try to make people focus on what they want to communicate.

> The best arguments

Some of these tropes and arguments aren't really the best. There's a lot of rhetorical gotchas, e.g. "that's exactly what I'd expect from a human" when an automated solution isn't up to par.

> from both sides

The only real "side" is the one actively pushing for something. Everyone else isn't a camp - they're just random people.
