      That would likely violate the first amendment. Many of the ways you use your phone are considered forms of speech/expression. Wholesale banning of sectors of these by a government is a legitimate violation of your rights.

      Fuck AI, tho.

      In all seriousness, if someone wanted to sue that local government referring the first amendment, they would likely take the ban down.

      That said, I don’t find any actual article from a reputable news outlet describing what actually happened and what is in the city council ordinance. Likely a brief unenforceable article, which, as such, has no bearing on anyone’s life.

      A redditor mentioned they banned “self improving” ai, which, if true, would explain why it isn’t getting more coverage- this is a nothing burger.

        A redditor mentioned they banned “self improving” ai, which, if true, would explain why it isn’t getting more coverage- this is a nothing burger.

        The year is 2029, Meta’s GrokBots have taken over the world. They approach Bloomington Indiana, their next target. A kindly older gentleman approaches the army on the outskirts of town.

        “Sorry boys, we banned self improving AI back in 2026, you are not allowed here.”

        The robots nod and continue onward, parting around the outskirts of town like a river flowing around a rock.

        The town is saved. It becomes the last bastion of humanity within 6 months.

        The output technically belongs to the AI company, does the first amendment apply to non human entities? If it does I don’t think anyone should be supporting that application …

      Banning it outright is ableist, there’s no need include the right to use certain apps in the Constitution.

        There aren’t disabilities that require access to the plagiarism machine; it’s insulting to act like disabled people can’t write or make art.

          there are few things ablebodied people find more offensive than a disabled person who can outperform them.
