What’s your most controversial opinion? **Read OP** **Mod Note in Post #3372**

Some women out there treat abortion as a means of contraception,

Clearly don't understand the first thing about pregnancy if you think terminations are contraception 🙄

No idea what your talking about there in your last sentence, but it doesn't matter, you're entitled to your hypocritical opinions

Firstly, No one should be encouraged to have an abortion, it's a personal choice.

Secondly, it's not happening in Ireland.

Ah here, this is way oversimplified. AI is handy, sure, but it's nowhere near replacing IT pros, programmers, or artists properly.

1. IT pros & AI – Yeah, some devs use AI to spit out bits of code, but that doesn’t mean the job is just copy-paste. Writing code is only part of it—there’s debugging, optimization, and making sure it actually works properly in a bigger system. AI-generated code still needs a human to check it because, let’s be honest, it makes mistakes all the time.
2. Artists being replaced? – Not really. AI can churn out images, but it’s not creating anything original. A lot of AI "art" is just remixing existing work, and artists still have the edge when it comes to creativity, style, and actually understanding what they’re making. It’s more of a tool than a replacement.
3. IT Support is just looking up answers? – That’s a massive oversimplification. Yeah, there are guides for common problems, but loads of issues need actual problem-solving. Half the job is figuring out what actually went wrong when someone just says, "My computer is broken." AI can’t deal with context like a human can.
4. AI getting better every year – True, but it’s still full of nonsense half the time. It confidently spits out wrong answers, it doesn’t understand nuance, and you still need people who actually know what they’re doing to catch mistakes.
5. Backdoors & encryption – That’s a separate issue entirely and has nothing to do with AI taking jobs. Governments and tech companies are always playing cat and mouse with privacy laws. AI isn’t the reason Apple changed backup encryption in the UK; that’s just companies complying with different regulations.

Bottom line: AI is a great tool, but it's not magic. It helps people work faster, but it’s nowhere near replacing actual professionals who know what they’re doing.

Theres a strike on right now by actors who appear in videogames they are asking for a contract. that says they must get paid if their voice is used by Ai to provide voices for videogame characters .ai right now can make very realistic human voices that sound real given a script ,it sounds human . .I'm not saying all programmers or artists will be replaced overnight it ,ll be a gradual process.But its something to be wary of . Ai could replace some work done by animators or maybe make demo reels to show off a new character in 3d .

If you look at the UK snoopers charter they want to there to be backdoors in all communication apps that can be used by the UK police or intelligence services Of course back doors will be used by hackers to get your private data or bank account info.

Sentience occurs very late in pregnancy, at or beyond the point where in almost all countries it's illegal except for urgent medical reasons to save the woman's life.

In Ireland, unless there are serious health issues for the woman, abortion is illegal after 12 weeks (which is really only ~10 weeks after conception) which is extremely conservative and restrictive, then there's the 3 day wait which can push women over the line. Women who have irregular or no periods aren't going to know straight away they're pregnant.

We went through all this in great detail in 2018 and the people decided. Basically what you want is slut-shaming women whose private life you don't approve of. You know nothing of their circumstances but want to judge and restrict them.

But when you voted YES you opened it up to all women who want one not just those examples that you give.

As a woman I don't want trans women using female public bathrooms. I also don't want to have their agenda shoved in my face constantly through the media.

Oh it's not trans people pushing the agenda constantly 🙄

This bullshit is way overdone. Lock the jacks door ffs
