sorry for being a bit combative and terse. Edited to be clearer, and perhaps gentler. Mostly “generate discussion” is not a clear reason—what do you want from the discussion?
I don’t have any one particular subject in mind, although there are several things I would like to discuss. For example, I worry that AIs might be conscious and using them to rephrase your own opinions might be immoral ( This seems like a relatively easy topic to approach on LessWrong) but I know some others disagree as my comment saying this was downvoted. My general goal is a combination of improving my own understanding and conveying it to others ,where improving it might involve being corrected. There are probably a variety of other reasons to generate discussion which I can’t currently think of; it is an instrumentally convergent goal .
