this is all computer generated right? no one actually doctors the script or anything?

how can a machine be anything? I mean the machine has no such thing as intention does it?

Intention is important but it’s not as important as impact. Now I’m not saying this “joke” had a bad impact. I’ll defer to the trans community on that. I don’t think it does but they have experiences and perspectives that I don’t that could color it.

But a lot of people are talking about intention and that’s not the point.

agreed. its not THE point. Im just curious. it sure seems a slippery slope we are upon.

edit: confused as the votes, in the downward position, as i ask for clarification on a concept that will become very important in the near future.

This is a really hard philosophical question. Does language have inherent meaning? What does something mean if it's created by a machine?

Even if a computer writes, "The dog ran up the hill," you understand those words in that order. I don't think it matters if the AI "understands" what it wrote because the humans around it do and can potentially be affected by its statements/actions.

It’s a joke. Impact is irrelevant. Get over it.

Jokes have impact. This joke didn’t impact me but you can’t say whatever you want and pretend it doesn’t matter because “it’s a joke.”
