Comment on Google's AI made up a fake cheese fact that wound up in an ad for Google's AI, perfectly highlighting why relying on AI is a bad idea

  It’s an obsolete usage of “beg” that’s now preserved only in that particular set phrase. One of English’s many linguistic fossils, which you should learn more about before trying to critique anyone’s language use.

    It’s an obsolete usage of “beg”

    It’s a misuse of the cliche “begs the question” (which goes back to medieval Latin petitio principii) which is used to call out a form of fallacious reasoning where the desired answer is smuggled into the assumptions. And yeah, that use of “beg” is obsolete, but even worse, the whole phrase is now misused to mean “prompts the question.”

    Why post the same comment?

      That user goes around doing weird and pointless corrections to other people’s comments, so I thought it’d be funny to do the same in turn.

        Can take the user off reddit, but the reddit never leaves the user
