    I wasn’t aware that they’re now a nonprofit. What do they spend money on?

    Do a thing because it’s the right thing to do. Or don’t. But using -isms to justify a controversial position makes my teeth hurt.

    They’re kind of vague on what they mean when they say “AI.” Are they asking a chatbot for a synonym, or feeding it a prompt and sitting back while it creates a manuscript from whole cloth?

    Either way, it’s none of my business. There’s no prize to be won, the gains are all personal. For the first in my life, my teacher’s words ring true: “You’re only cheating yourself.”

    Yeah idk, I feel like last year’s statement was good and if they said something more… questionable this year, probably some people were just being really pushy about “please shit on AI”. As far as I’m concerned everyone looks pretty bad here.
