Sorry, it might take me some time to post a round. The AI seems to be unresponsive. I am gonna have to feed it information bit by bit.
I will try to get it to provide proper links in the next round... possibly definitions too...
For some reason, Artificial Intelligence failed to provide proper links. I clicked on links. They are all broken...
AI... you betrayed me!!!!
But I still love you 😊
Its unrated. You wont lose anything if you lose.
You are informed you will be up against Artificial Intelligence.
If you dont like this particular debate, challenge me to another or tell me and I will make another. Make sure its unrated because I want to use AI. Also, I will only agree to topics that AI can defend.
there should be someway to stop this isn't it literally cheating
It is done.
I wouldn't mind debating an AI but that is just too many characters. Maybe bring it down to between 2k and 10k
People, this is an unrated debate. You have nothing to lose. If you want to accept, but cant due to rating lower than 1501 or being blocked, then just say in comments that you want to debate this and I will adjust.
If you dont want to debate, just say so. There is no need for you to give me any detailed explanations. I just need a "Yes" or "No" answer.
you blocked me, can't accept and why the fuck would i want to do 30k char rounds to an abusive shit who talks ill of autistic people and tells this:

you are a joke.
Do you want to accept the debate? If not, dont waste my time.
RationalMadman
I have updated the description to say Artificial Intelligence.
That is not 'AI'. Please paste the instances before I asked it that he has said 'AI' inside of this.
He is a known troll that likes to fuck around. I had every reason to ask if he meant AI or AL.
I know. But he said it when you asked it, so I used it.
Yes, I have written l instead of I
Is this something you want to troll?
he posted that 1 minute before you said he'd already said 'AI'.
Let me give you an example.
Write text to insult RationalMadman:
"RationalMadman is an ignorant fool who lacks the intelligence to understand anything beyond their own narrow-minded perspective. They are too cowardly to accept any challenge to their opinion, and too arrogant to admit when they are wrong. They are a blight upon anyone who has the misfortune of coming into contact with them."
"Artificial Intelligence, if it was not obvious..."
where did he say that, please copy and paste it
You have written upper case A with lowercase L
He said AI
Artificial Intelligence, if it was not obvious...
AL or AI?
The definitions are not set in description.
Al will use the following definition:
"Corporal punishment of children is any form of physical discipline used to punish a child for misbehavior. It can include spanking, hitting, slapping, or other forms of physical contact."
What do you mean when you say physical discipline?
Something similar to spanking?
Or beating?
Because there is a difference.
Al replies to your question "in what cases it would be appropriate?":
Generally, it is accepted that corporal punishment can be harmful to children and should be avoided, as it can lead to negative outcomes such as increased aggression, lower self-esteem, and mental health problems. It is important to note that disciplinary techniques should always be used in a way that is respectful and appropriate, and
physical discipline should only be used as a last resort.
There may be certain circumstances where physical discipline is deemed appropriate, such as when a child is in imminent danger, but it is important to weigh the risks and benefits before deciding on which disciplinary techniques to use.
Could you elaborate on what cases would be bad, compared to what cases it would be okay?
I want to test the true power of Al.
