humans argue. it’s a complex, strategic skill that is somewhat intuitive but to get really good at it requires practice and feedback by other humans who are good at argumentation. it’s fundamentally a moral, human talent driven by human motivations and human evolutionary biology. why would a machine care? well, it doesn’t. humans care inherently. humans argue even when they don’t want to. it’s almost like breathing or eating. no man is an island, as they say. but robots don’t play by the rules. they act act an intermediary that breaks the communication chain. ugh.
