With all respect to the contents of the article.

None taken!

edit: it appears that there are people who do not know what “LW” means. I made a context-based joke that it was “Lemmy World”. What it really stands for is “Lurk More”

“Hello, peasants, I come to deliver you from ignorance. I can tell just by looking at your filthy clothes and vacant gazes that you all misuse the term AI. It is my obligation and privilege to educate you and inform you of the bright future AI is soon to bring, you swine.”
