Yall could have gotten a serviceable answer about this topic out of ChatGPT. 2025 version of "let me google that for you"

> Can you share some ways AI has changed your life?

A question directed to GP, directly asking about their life and pointing this out is somehow virtue signalling, OK.

You can safely assume that anyone who uses “virtue signaling” unironically has nothing substantive to say.

>[People who call out performative bullshit should be ignored because they’re totally wrong and I totally mean it.]

Maybe you’re just being defensive? I’m sure he didn’t mean an attack at you personally.

It’s presumptuous of you to assume I was offended.

Accusing someone of “virtue signaling” is itself virtue signaling, just for a different in-group to use as a thought terminating cliche. It has been for decades. “Performative bullshit” is a great way to put it, just not in the way you intended.

If the OP had a substantive point to make they would have made it instead of using vague ad hominem that’s so 2008 it could be the opening track on a Best of Glenn Beck album (that’s roughly when I remember “virtue signaling” becoming a cliche).

Funny coming from someone who tells others not to speak unless asked, while no one asked them either.

From the list of virtues, which one was this signaling?

I’d guess: Respect, consideration, authenticity, fairness.

Or should I too perhaps wait for OP to respond.

That list needs updating. Lots of things became virtuous in scenario. During Covid, fear was a virtue. You had to prove how scared you were of it, all the masks you wore because it made you “one of the good ones” to be fearful.

...you know, people can have opinions about the best way to behave outside of self-aggrandizement, even if your brain can't grasp this concept.
