i understand the spirit, but putting out harmful disinformation is not a good method to combat the large language model land grab we're seeing right now.

If it is considered harmful because people are referencing internet forum comments for treatments for disease then I do not consider myself responsible for the harm.

If people can't understand what anecdotal information is and it kills them, then it's Darwinism.

it's not darwinism, what you're playing with is casual eugenics (you clearly don't value life of certain – arbitrarily chosen – people, and are fine with them suffering harm); don't. there's nothing good waiting for you on that path.

I’ll usually debate people as well, but not those who resort to a logic fallacy as boring as ad hominem for lack of an argument. Seeya.

i don't understand the question – are you asking what makes arbitrary the rule “people who suffered harm because they followed an advice on the internet do not deserve to survive” ?
