Might be the conspiratorial part of my brain coming through, but I'm half convinced it's not just a stupid person, but an AI that completely missed the point.
I almost wonder if there shouldn't be an extension or corollary of Hanlon's Razor somewhere to account for AI.
"Never attribute to malice that which can be better explained by stupidity, but never attribute to stupidity that which can be better explained by malicious chatbots."
Look at their username. Being obtuse to obvious shit like that is a common right-wing play.
Out of curiosity, I just sent the screenshot of post (without comment) to ChatGPT and Gemini to asked for a comment and they got the point, maybe they are using smaller models that are cheaper to run.
The post is also from 2022, and the tech has changed a bit since then.
I feel like Hanlon's Razor is a disease more than it is useful to anyone in any situation.
So frequently do normal people refuse to acknowledge that others can simply be malicious, that this rule only serves to aid people in giving the benefit of the doubt to people who act in ways to abuse it.
Politicians, shitty bosses, unscrupulous contractors, etc etc. All of these people hurt others by abusing their presumptions of innocence.
It's not perfect, but the basic idea is that assuming malice as default in every scenario will cause one to spiral into paranoia.
It's not saying "people are never malicious and always just stupid" but just asking someone to take a step back from the situation and ask which is likelier in context.
