        If you are saying it’s ironic for the author to do the same thing they are criticizing, then yes, you’re saying that. Otherwise, there’s little to nothing similar about them, hence my original comment.

          I’m saying the author is writing an essay for a concept that can easily be understood in a sentence, yes. And I find it ironic. Not bad, just funny. And somehow this offends people.

        It’s a lost cause on here, as soon as you made a comment that wasn’t immediately and clearly anti-AI you’re going to get dogpiled with bad faith arguments and downvotes.

        The irony of people commenting in a post promoting human writing while also failing to understand basic concepts of writing, such as irony.

            I haven’t seen any, this was a comment thread about irony people are somehow seeing pro-AI in it for reasons.

            People not finding someone writing an essay in response to being annoyed at people sending them irrelevant essays funny is acceptable enough to me. I don’t care if people don’t share my humor. The absolute wall of defensive text I’ve received in response is also funny, in a discussion about an essay about the value of brevity. And so is the idea that any of this is pro AI while people complain I have a reading comprehension issue. I can also assure you the irony of how much I’ve typed is also not lost on me. Frankly this thread is about to produce a singularity of irony.

          Oh there’s plenty of funny stuff going on and it’s not like the downvotes matter. I mean that poster using Socratic irony to tell me why I found something ironically funny was wrong was amusing in itself if incredibly tedious.
