Making Something Bad Easier to Do, Isn’t Good

Should Be Obvious…

Speaking of bad arguments… This, from The Verge and this from Dan More (good posts!) got me thinking of another terrible take I see way too often:

«People have always done Bad Thing (at great expense of some kind), so Company X making it super-accessible isn’t critique worthy at all, actually.»

Edit 27/8-24:

The Verge posted a good, and very linkable, article called Hello, you’re here because you said AI image editing was just like Photoshop. And the comment section is full of the argument above, and also its sibling:

«We’ve always has to contend with Bad Thing – so drastically increasing the amount of it, is of no consequence, actually.»
