I can understand asking for nuance in these discussions, but deliberately muddying the water by bringing up automation tools that people understand are not generative AI and asking for a middle ground is disingenuous. The nuanced position is that people are roundly rejecting the tech, respect that.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

"Nothing in ACC's proposals actually looks at rehabilitation,"

"It's all about 'how can we ramp up exits, how can we get more people coming off the scheme', and that's the antithesis of the statutory purpose. It's the antithesis of why we have ACC in NZ."

#NZpol My impression too 😔
In addition to the incredibly apt comparison to Robotdebt I reposted earlier, I'd like to mention the perverse incentives here about getting folks off ACC. Not removing their need for ACC, but rather removing the provision of ACC to them. There's quite a difference.

A good story is as long as it needs to be. We don’t need to expand every detail, uncover every facet, some things can be left as mystery. A battle can be a sentence, a romance can be a look, a tragedy a word.
