Oh, please stop with the holier-than-thou nonsense.
Once again, that is not a straw man.
A straw man is when I replace your argument with something else.
So, if the argument is: “You cannot generate a completed 30-minute video with a simple prompt,” and you respond with, “Oh, so you think you just push a button and make a video?” that is a straw man. You have replaced my actual argument with an argument I never made.
I didn't make a straw man at any point. My argument has consistently been directed at what you actually said. I am so tired of every conversation devolving into me having to define what a straw man is.
If you are unable to at least understand that and admit that you are wrong about your interpretation of what a straw man is, then how can I take anything else you say about AI seriously?
And don't misconstrue that as an ad hominem. I'm not dismissing your arguments about AI simply because I think you're incapable of understanding them. I'm pointing out that this conversation has now devolved into me having to explain what a straw man is because you are repeatedly misidentifying one. If you cannot accurately identify the basic logical concept we're currently arguing about, then I have legitimate reason to question whether you are accurately understanding the arguments you're making about AI.
I never said I thought you could generate a 30 minute video from a single prompt. Strawman. I don't think that, and I don't know where you got the idea that I think that, but I don't care, because, again, I AM DONE ARGUING WITH YOU.
Kindly fuck off.
Yes correct. You never said that. But that is what this entire comment thread is about. I was bringing it back to the original context so we don't drift off course to something irrelevant.
Also you are correct. You did not accuse me of making a straw man you were saying that the material presented straw men which it very well may have. So I retract that statement. I apologize for the accusation. Everything gets a little muddled in the comments this far down it's hard to keep track of everything.
But very well. God day.
