Yes, a consumer criticizing a process they don’t understand invalidates their criticism.
At the end of the day I don’t have much trust in a consumer being a good custodian of market ethics in general, especially in gaming where AI use is really at the bottom of the list of ethical issues. To me this seems like a pop culture fixation rather than a rational decision making.

Those darn consumers having opinions on things that affect them without being experts in it. Next thing you know they’re going to want to ban smoking in restaurants despite not having medical degrees or knowing first hand how this will impact the tobacco industry! Or carbon emissions, food safety, or anything really…hell, cold calls are just part of the reality of marketing. Eventually consumers will grow up and realize that unprompted phonecalls at 7pm are just part of the reality of effectively offering them products.
If it’s not clear, I think the notion that people can’t have an opinion on something that impacts them without understanding the process that yields the impact is silly and paternalistic.
Attitudes like yours that are dismissive of consumer concerns are very much part of the reason why consumers are starting to increasingly reject AI products.

False equivalence - not even going to entertain you with a reply, it’s absolutely pointless bye.

Ah, the good old fashioned “say a fallacy, refuse to elaborate and cut off discussion”. Truly the mark of someone who actually has a reply and isn’t just getting huffy because their notions aren’t being taken as gospel.
Protip: if you actually think a discussion is pointless, just don’t reply.
