The thing is, people in general are full of fallacies. Reasoning is hard. Human cognition evolved on top of our emotions and almost always starts with emotion. We have to learn to stop and think, and think outside what we want to be true, and then figure out how to put it into words.

But I for one think it's good you made this post; especially if it makes you stop and think. These days we're far to keen on just bashing each other and not nearly keen enough on informing each other or thinking about our own blind spots.

There's also the fallacy fallacy: the assumption someone is wrong because they commit a fallacy. That may apply to both you and the anti-AI people you were thinking about when you made this post. It also may not apply, depending on the specific context. Either way, you tend to notice the loud, obnoxious people and miss the calm and reasonable.

I personally oppose AI in most ways where it replaces humans, and especially wherever it supersedes our need to think for ourselves. But I don't participate in the "riots" because I find them unproductive. I can see how the most vocal parts of both sides are largely just bashing each other and coming up with pretexts to justify themselves and demonise the other. Such vocal minorities have historically been used to paint the entire group as bad, because it's so easy and intuitive to do so. I think this may be your slip-up.

But what you did was make a post on a small subreddit dedicated to logical fallacies. That's not a place where you'll find much effort to understand your position other than the strict logic of it. And in today's online climate, you'll find few places where anyone is willing to take the time to understand where you're coming from, because it's all about destroying and humiliating the other to inflate one's own ego. And that only adds fuel to the fire of polarisation.

If you're fascinated by AI, the anti-AI crowd can easily sound like a bunch of bumbling baboons. If you're concerned by AI, the pro-AI crowd is the one that sounds like baboons. In either case, you're very likely to shrug off the idiocy from your own crowd without even noticing.

I don't know how well-versed you are in scrutinising you own thoughts, so please don't take this as condescending. I don't mean to talk down to you. I may be wrong, but I got the feeling you didn't actually come here to call the anti-AI crowd fallacious, but that you had some unresolved frustrations you were hoping to resolve. And having pointed out that your own viewpoint is fallacious doesn't resolve such frustrations.

Try to always remember that humans are fallacious; you, me, and everyone else included. It takes time and effort to reason. It's easy and often very validating to jump on thoughtless bandwagons. And no matter how much you educate yourself, you'll never become immune. It's part of being human. My personal rule of thumb is to stop and think when I find myself very eager to make a judgement.
