I can't reply on Bluesky, since this post isn't bridged, but let me address Anil's point as clearly as I can.

Co-opting the language and theory of "harm reduction" in order to advocate for using AI tools *is* a form of AI boosterism. That's not intellectually dishonest, it's being clear about what effects co-opting that language and theory has.

I’m not an AI-booster, and I think it’s intellectually dishonest to pretend I am. I’m just not denying the reality that people are using the tools
