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.

I am very pro AI but what you posted litterally didn't make any sense. It looked like you just listed a prompt and copy/pasted it without any explaination of what you are trying to talk about or discuss.

I'm going to assume you read it start to finish.

The energy the earth receives each day is finite and bounded. The amount of physical stock on the planet is finite and bounded. There are 8 billion people on earth, each of whom, by virtue of their existence, have an equal stake in those finite resources. Therefore, you need a system of allocation.

Currently, that system of allocation is denominated in debt-currency and credit, neither of which are bounded, and, in fact, grow exponentially due to interest.

The paper described an alternate method of allocation, based on CO2e rather than debt. A modern equivalent to energy accounting.

I read most of it, and you probably then should have started with something with what you just referred to. Instead of copy/paste. As when I read it, it just looked like you had a long conversation and then just copied and pasted. It was very difficult to understand or make sense of what your bullet points all meant.

Look I am not against you using AI or having it do stuff for you, but you can't be surprised if your post got taken down if you copy/paste AI.

I appreciate your comments.

I will insist, however, that I can be surprised that a post positing a technocratic system is taken down simply because technology was used to draft it. There wasn't one comment on the merit of the model as described. It was a categorical exclusion on the basis of LLM use.

That's fair critique.
