So, should we be encouraging the use of AI while a lot of questions about how it's controlled and who benefits from its data and their accountability remain unanswered?
As an example.
If I engage with the bot and present a positive view a battery kept chickens at what point does the bot adjust it's view and present battery chicken keeping in a positive light?

There are...
Dead against it. It's not that I'm hysterical about AI. It's not that I don't use it on a daily basis. It's just given the stated aim of BYC is community above information. I don't think it belongs here.
