Fuck AI

That's a lot of ad hominem for someone so vocally against it.

If your entire argument is "look at this mistake that was made, why did we trust scientists in the first place?" (with some personal attacks thrown in) you're going to struggle to find a genuine conversation.

Scientists are people too, they aren't a homogeneous pool of unassailable morals/ethics and correctness.

People fuck up, constantly, poor decisions and mistakes abound.

The whole idea of the scientific method is iteration towards success, if everyone always made the correct decisions there would be no need for iteration.

It's not an excuse for shitty work, science as a whole has a bunch of problems that urgently need addressing, but it is an explanation that allows for more nuance than "scientists stupid, hur hur".

Given your other answers so far I'm not expecting you to actually respond to this in good faith , i'm putting it out there mainly for me.

I can save you some time and say that if this is the calibre of response you normally provide, you should probably just block me, you are almost certainly not going to like interacting with me (or reading anything i write).
