The statement by @Scobleizer addresses public concerns about AI and societal reactions to technological advancements, thus constituting public discourse. The tone is defensive, aiming to contextualize current criticisms of AI within historical patterns of resistance to new technologies.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly harm others but could be seen as dismissive of legitimate concerns about AI, which may indirectly cause harm by not acknowledging these concerns. [-1]
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement attempts to promote understanding by drawing parallels with past technological shifts, but it lacks empathy for those who may have valid concerns about AI.
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in personal attacks but could be more constructive by addressing specific concerns rather than generalizing opposition as 'hate.' [-1]
  4. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement uses the platform to discuss a significant public issue, but it could be more responsible by fostering a more balanced dialogue.
