     @arstechnica AI haters? really?

     so if I take measures for random dogs not to shit in my garden then I'm a "dog hater"?

     or for male strangers not to talk to my underage daughter I'm a "man hater"?

     @arstechnica I'm okay being labeled an AI hater, I already hate a lot of stupid shit anyway. Anything that poisons the well for AI is absolutely fine by me. We need to deploy more of these traps.
