• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Pro's and con's of using AI in political debate.

I just don’t like being replied to with just an AI response. If you give some of your own thoughts in a reply and use ai as a tool to back up the points you are making then that’s ok but just a straight up canned response copied and pasted from google or whatever ai source is going to be ignored by me.

I come here because I have a pretty good feeling most everyone here is a real person with actual opinions. It’s much more communal and personal here than the thousands of random people replying on social media platforms. If we start replying to each other with ai answers we kill what makes a site like this worth coming to.
So, you have two views and you prefer responding only to those who identify as person using their own individual opinions. Not me.

POSITION PNE
The position of a poster here [probably greatly influenced by their political party outlook].

POSITION TWO
The stated AI position of Google where Google has researched hundreds of sites and composed a composite response.
=======
I have very. very little reason to believe that poster presenting his or her own opinion has an opinion more likely to be complete and correct than the consolidated AI response.

I don’t really care what ai knows. I care what people think. That’s why I come to discussion boards. AI doesn’t have any better insight into your opinion than I can try to guess on my own.
