Right but it was established up the comment chain you aren't in charge of defining shit

You're one rando on a random text forum

You're self selecting as biology do and appealing to authority you don't have

You don't know what's generally accepted beliefs just your own biased belief

Oh no a meaningless social credit score!

I just Googled the definition; it reads the same as the posted definition on various sites; from Merriams to Oxford. Will go with the definition put forth by people who actually do the research not some self promoting random tech nerd

Imo your ego is driving you more than a well reasoned argument; you know how to game reputation on social media ergo you are correct

These are those source’s definitions [1][2]. They’re significantly more precise than the one I suspect you got from Google’s AI, hence your mis-use of the word. (Mis-use is fine. Doubling down against evidence is less forgiving.)
