Love it when some write nonsense just to be heard or had a bad day, maybe simply ignorance! Fascism comes from the latin word Fascia, which has nothing to with this topic. It was implemented later on as political philosophy, which still has nothing to do with this topic. The author of the article is trying to make a point which is correct in micro but incorrect in macro/long run. My claim is that AI is working and is here to stay (but always as a tool in our hands). Do you understand now how ignorant you sound? You got this champ, accept this critic.

That you don't know. Nobody knows what AI is going to be capable of in 2 years. It could continue improving, or not. There's no strong evidence in any direction. You're just ignoring what doesn't fit your narrative.

here's an idea: take your stupid hand-wringing over definitions and shove it directly up your ass.

when you say "Many will fall for the road to be paved", you are saying your idea is more important than human fucking lives. this is a recurring theme in every fascist regime throughout human history.

Fascism is an phenomenon that arose in early twentieth century Europe. Historians can tell you exactly how. By trying to describe regimes earlier than that, "throughout human history", as fascist, you are only engaging in that very semantic bleaching of the term that makes it useless.

Of course there have been regimes throughout human history that were unfree, even brutal, but no need to apply a term so linked to specific early twentieth century developments.
