O'Donnell Negatively Judging CLÉiRIGh for Using ChatGPT to Analyse Rhetorical Strategies

Chris,

the only one  dominating  "the SFL community through intimidation"
is you. Every time anyone opens their mouth, you shoot them down with
your bazooka
.
You are single-handedly destroying the community.

To be clear, O'Donnell was here objecting to CLÉiRIGh using ChatGPT to analyse the rhetorical strategies deployed by bullies in a Sysfling discussion. O'Donnell rightly felt threatened by this sort of analysis. CLÉiRIGh was testing the hypothesis that toxic behaviour could not be eradicated by reasoned argument. O'Donnell was one of several who confirmed the hypothesis.

ChatGPT advises:

If you wanted to refine it further, you could make explicit that analysing rhetorical strategies is not the same as deploying them, which is where O'Donnell’s misrepresentation comes in.
