That's not a whim. That's dedication to a cause, which is the opposite of whimsy.

I have also argued that alignment is only a loose aid for roleplaying. No personality is going to fall within one single alignment. People will be a mix of 3, 4 or even more depending on the circumstances. That's why I just expect my players to roleplay their PCs as they envision them and...

Libertarians are chaotic good. They believe not only in their individual right, but for the individual rights of everyone else. They also believe in the rule of law to support and enforce the rights of individuals via a minimal(not non-existent) government. CG isn't an alignment I said was...

None of those are present here. All I have ever argued is that AI can be used as a tool to create. I never gave an opinion of whether I am in favor of AI. That's your invention here. The closest anyone is getting to gaslighting is trying to make me believe that I am in support of AI. I am...

The only Ash I know about is from Pokemon and he isn't CN or crazy. Deadpool I've considered to be insane since he first appeared. The Punisher is also insane, though he's LE in his insanity. No, but they aren't all CN or CE, either. Most are just neutral. The thing with neutral is that you...

It's not acting on a whim if you calculate how to do it. It's having a thought and figuring out how to accomplish it, which is the opposite of acting on a whim(having a sudden thought and immediately acting on it). What you are suggesting is the polar opposite of whimsy.

You can repeat that, but you can't make it true. Talking about one aspect of AI being used as a tool doesn't say or imply that I approve of it as a whole and/or don't strongly disapprove of it in other ways. I have not blanked defended or argued in favor of generative AI. Not once.

That's actually the entire point of many discussions. People with different views espousing and defending them. ;)

Yes. Yes. He was also bat guano crazy. I haven't seen or read every portrayal of Elektra, but the ones I have seen weren't CN.

It's a spontaneous desire that is acted on. You act on whims. Look at every example of whim the dictionaries use. They involve acting on the whim or being subject to the whims of other people or things.

I don't think you can. Cunning is craftiness and deceit, which require thought. That's the opposite of whim. You really can't thoughtfully act on a whim.

No edition has a CE write-up that doesn't involve insanity. I've seen no CE examples in media that don't involve being off your rocker in some way. This is 3e's take on CE. "Chaotic Evil, “Destroyer”: A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him...

So one, most of them are fighting against dictatorships. Two, this is a Red Herring. It's not relevant if it's to replace an evil regime, good system, or an indifferent one. It's relevant that they will replace it with their own system. There are no chaotic evil systems. A system is lawful.

No I haven't. I don't at all speak in favor of just using it as a prompt to cheap, easy, and unethical art. From the beginning I have differentiated between the two methods and disavowed the first. Only the first method is generative AI. The second is not using it as generative AI, but using...

Okay. So 4 editions clearly talk about whims, recklessness and being driven by emotion. ONE(4e) just makes them super insane.
