I’m 💯 behind this thread. My own position favors finding a middle ground (tightrope?!) of cautious, open-eyed, measured, playful experimentation and use. And so is the MLA-CCCC Task Force on AI and Writing’s collective stance. Go read what we have to say at aiandwriting.hcommons.org

The excited crowd, the policeman with his star quickly working his passage to the centre of the crowd, and just as I was about to orgasm, my boyfriend whispered, "Cum, my preciousssss" into my ear, in his scarily accurate Gollum voice.

This ⬇️. My mental model is that people go with the resource argument because a) they really care about cultural issues but feel they're too slippery, and b) they think resource consumption will be a cut and dried irrefutable conversation ender.
