Point of order - that automation IS AI. It’s just not generative AI. It’s 20+-year-old AI.

I'm not in the industry so maybe you guys were using it like this and I didn't know, but I absolutely never heard these kinds of scripts called "AI" before this current LLM boom. People called plenty of stuff AI before this -- I've heard people call things like Alexa AI, video game NPC behaviour is called AI, etc. -- but if this kind of automation was ever called AI then that terminology wasn't anywhere I saw it. I only ever heard them called programs, scripts, add-ons, macros, or bots, depending on what specifically the tool was and what it did.

Imagine if we did the “public libraries are punk” thing for other subcultures. Imagine if people made shirts that said “Soup kitchens are grunge” or “Mixed Use Urbanism is Juggalo”.

"I am not a vessel for your good intent" goes hard as a line from a disabled perspective. Abled people care so much more about being their idea of a good ally than they do actually being a good ally. They shove their good intent right down your throat and then act surprised when you tell them they're suffocating you.
