That's like saying "so, exercise more" upon the invention of fast food. Maybe you will, that's great. But society is going to be rewritten by the lazy and we all will have to deal with the side effects.

I think you inadvertently make a good point.

The invention of fast food does not change anyone's ability to excersize. When fast food was invented people excersized way more than they do today.

Time constraints have caused an increase in fast food consumption and a reduction in excersize.

Both issues then seem to be addressed by coercion to change behaviour when what is needed is a systemic change to the environment to provide preferable options.

Fat shaming works, no matter what the bleeding heart body acceptance social justice warriors say.

AI shaming also works. I do it when people say “I asked GPT/Claude and”

If I wanted the bot’s opinion I could ask the bot myself. I now think less of you for thinking that it is somehow acceptable to use a bot to do your thinking for you, because when I ask YOU something I want to know what YOU think.
