Thanks. This has actually been a thing that bothered me many years before AI was ever a thing, there are open source programs I've installed that pop open a clickwrap "agree with the GPL before you can install this" step and it shows a misunderstanding of how these licenses fundamentally work. They're not EULAs.

As for whether I'm a "concern troll", AI happens to be an area of significant interest to me right now and so I've been commenting a lot on it. My opinion on it also happens to be unpopular. I don't like the idea of closed social media bubbles where only groupthink is allowed, so I just go ahead and speak my mind even knowing it'll likely get hit with a lot of downvotes. I'm finding the Fediverse to be a lot more insular than Reddit is in this regard, I suspect because the population in general is a lot smaller, but at least downvotes don't tend to "bury" comments.

If anyone can't stand reading my comments, I recommend blocking me. It's the ultimate downvote.
