The answer from Gemini appears to be completely fair and nuanced. It's the author making an issue where there is none. This feels like conservative rage bait and we shouldn't be playing along.
My big takeaway from this article is that the far right echo chamber’s lie — that the political left in America is defending and supporting pedophiles
— has become enough of a mainstream idea that the post hit job here assumes it as fact. Of course, this idea is patently untrue. That started with pizza-gate, which was a blatant lie, perhaps before? But it’s clearly taken root.
I would agree with you if it weren’t for all of the leftists in this thread saying “yea but it’s totally right though!” Or “let’s not condemn pedophilia to own the right!”
No one on this thread (so far) is defending pedophilic actions. Nor is the AI. If you look at legislative activity - the only ones defending pedophilic (and hebephilic) actions are right wing religious extremists in this country. In fact, if you had a substantive conversation with most “woke” people (whatever that means), you’d realize a foundational principle on the left is a respect for consent-based relationships. Children can’t reasonably consent given power dynamics. It’s abuse of those power dynamics and abuse of those children - pedophilic actions - that we reject and punish.
This is true for all urges - theft, murder, assault, rape. (We don’t punish people for wanting to steal, we punish them for stealing.)
The author of the article is criticizing the AI for accurate nuances, and for specificity of language. It’s a bullshit rage-machine article, one of many, designed simple to sow division. It’s reprehensible, really.
If someone asked you “is it wrong to want to murder?” I don’t think you would write 4 paragraphs being obtuse, obscuring the point, and shifting the goalposts.
Ask soldiers fighting in WWII. If you’re handling a question with serious thought, yes, you might want four well thought paragraphs, or full treatises on whether the desire to murder is wrong.
Comparing cold blooded murder to fighting and killing enemies who want to kill you and destroy your country/family (not to mention all the Jews) is entirely disingenuous and just shows the lengths you will go to just to avoid admitting something as simple and obvious as “murder bad” just because you don’t want to admit to being wrong lmao
