And using that to justify increased logging, which is cutting down live trees. It's still nonsense.

That's a way to deal with it, but in the long term, "pre-AI" becomes a longer and longer time ago, and less and less useful for any practical purposes.

This is why some people insist on the generic he in English. A few hundred years ago, some British asshole who thought Latin was a perfect language decided to impose Latin rules on English, including such nonsense as "you can't end a sentence with a preposition" and "never split infinitives", as well as proscribing the then-common singular they in favor of "he". The damage he did to the English language is still not fully repaired.

"Why" implies they act according to some form of logic. The thing is, they're racists, and racists tend to be fucking stupid.

Actually that one would slap.

In the old one-axis alignment system, the alignments were essentially "chaotic" which is equivalent to chaotic evil, neutral, and "lawful" which is equivalent to lawful good. The addition of other alignments like lawful evil and chaotic good were an AD&D change.

It's a fundamental problem with the tech in general. It inherently has no concept of "I don't know" and will just be confident, specific, and wrong.

Well, you can technically [redacted for legal reasons].
