I'll give mine to get the ball rolling.

There was a user that, before getting banned, declared that every single living human being alive on Earth right now should not exist because no one had the benefit of a pre-conception device on hand to somehow determine each individual's consent to exist before they started to exist.

I don't know if that take would make David Benatar blush, make David Benatar cackle with glee, or if that was posted by David Benatar himself.

Is that take about treat printers?

Yeah, it's from this old thread. The person was arguing that ChatGPT is very smart - smarter than many people the bazinga knew in real life even. When someone pointed out that it is incapable of actually understanding or analyzing anything, they clapped back with that absolute brain genius take.

Kudos to @silent_water@hexbear.net for using her subject matter expertise to shut down the STEMlord.

Oh shit. I was there.

Christ, I forgot how insufferable that Nevoic bazinga was. "Everyone I disagree with believes in magic and faerie dust, a bedtime story for techbros."
