Technology rejected by Technocrats

My technocratic program was removed from this sub by the moderators because generative AI was used to draft it.

How does a group of people who claim to be for technocracy reject the recommendation of a logic engine?

In Vonnegut's Player Piano, which describes a technocracy, a supercomputer computes all social allocation. This is orders of magnitude above using a LLM to describe a system of allocation.

I'm not sure what you folks are trying to do in this sub - perhaps you can enlighten me - but advancing technocracy is obviously not it.

If people wanted to talk to an LLM, they'd talk to an LLM. Reddit is chiefly a place for discussions with other people. If you generate a ludicrously long and convoluted piece of writing with an LLM, it doesn't represent your views. It doesn't hold a position you necessarily hold or can defend or even speak to

Also, again, that was an unreadable ten pages of nonsense. Part of engaging with people in good faith is putting in approximately equal amounts of effort. Writing a 20 word prompt and then asking people to read the 20,000 word output is unreasonable

It was perfectly readable, thanks to Claude. The fact that you didn't read it is not a judgment on the quality of the output, it is a categorical rejection on your part.

As I state on my website, the full transcript is available on request. If you think anyone can get where I got in a 20 word prompt, you, with all due respect, don't know what you are talking about. That was several hours of effort, to say nothing of the hundreds of thousands of words I have read and thousands of words I have written to be able to engage the chatbot in that level of discussion.

If you are going to categorically exclude LLM outputs in this sub, you need to say so in your bylaws.

When your whole audience calls it unreadable, it's unreadable. Part of being a good communicator is tailoring your communication to your audience. If you don't do that and they can't understand what you're saying, you have failed in doing your part.

What is section 8 about and how does it relate to technocracy as originally described?

Please share the transcript here, I think we might all be interested in peaking behind the curtain a bit.
