    I understand this is a bit of a sensitive topic but I wasn’t being prescriptive or condoning mistreatment, just descriptive, and this problem disappears when you’re talking to people IRL. Also, you can disagree/be non conformist and still come off “non-LLMy”. I yap about religion and monotheism often in spaces that have at least a dislike for both, and people have accused me of many things but never of being a bot, lol. It’s understandable that people are wary, and unfortunate that they might misjudge, right? Also, that second part is a big leap, and lust and irrational shouldn’t be part of the same sentence. It’s a hunger, a want (and just like hunger, it allows society as a whole to survive!), not an ideological construct, and it needs to be approached with discernment, that’s all. 👍

      i appreciate you making that difference. Descriptively, you were articulating a bias (i.e., a rule of thumb or judgment), and that happened to be not universal nor even approximating it. It doesnt matter “is” or “ought”. Either way, it was a faulty assumption. Nonconformity to social norms of online discussions =/= autism spectrun

      I agree that i am making leaps. On my end i see that as creativity. Creativity is uniquely human (for now). Also, a familarity with symbolism and mythology aids in context

      Uncontrolled hunger is like a cancer growing bigger and bigger, or like a monkey with a hole in its stomach. It is not survival but a disease like binge eating.
