Get the The Dingus Fallacy mug.The willing ignorance of an individual behind a piece of work that was created with the assistance of AI for the purposes of focusing solely on the AI itself or dismissing the work's creator.
I could have just used "Created by AI" in the above sentence, but that in of itself is an example of The Monika Fallacy, as AI is incapable of creating anything without some kind of human input.
