that’s not my point. i know that chatgpt isn’t sentient, it can’t care about slurs because it’s unable to feel.

if i understand correctly, what you’re saying here is that it’s fine to be pretend-racist to something that is harmful and isn’t human. it’s fine to use tools of oppression against AI because it can’t care, and can’t be affected anyways. two things about this:

boy do i have news for you about the way racists view racialized people!
if it can’t be affected, why bother? you’re saying that what you do is entirely pointless, why do it?

so, the only effect of using slurs against chatbots like this is for Epic Comedy. so you and other people can partake in pretend racism, knowing that it’s ok because there is no social consequences for you! you’re saying that you’re fine with doing racism, just not towards people who might hear you and feel like shit. does that mean that it’s ok to be actually-racist in private? i sure hope you don’t think so but that seems to be what you’re saying!

or, put more succinctly:
Insult deflection meme. A stick figure labeled “You” is shooting a laser ray labeled “‘Clanker’ & co” at a stick figure labeled “chatbot who will never care because it’s not sentient”. That stick figure is then deflecting the ray towards a stick figure labeled “marginalized people who now know you think bigotry is funny”.

Again, no.

Tools of oppression demand 1) someone to be oppressed, and 2) a position of power with which to oppress. Neither of those exist here. How do I with no money oppress something worth billions of dollars?

You mistake tools of solidarity and unification against a common enemy, which seeks to oppress, add “oppression of the oppressor.”

My friend… Even a Clanker is not so naive as to misunderstand this. Go ask one. It can explain it to you.

  your “tools of solidarity and unification” are still rooted in racism, my friend. what an idea! using a tool of division and segregation to unite. that can’t possibly go wrong!
  
  anyways im not going to argue further with you cause i think ive made my point clear enough. just… don’t be surprised when your slurs-against-AI movement is comprised almost exclusively of white people.
