Imagine a food subreddit but people only post about Italian food. That's what it feels like for them. They can ban whatever they want. Why should we care?

They want content other than stuff about AI, too. They've been overwhelmed with posts about AI, so they're asking about taking a break from AI posts.

Can’t wait until AGI arrives, because some peoples minds work in unexplainable ways

The post that you linked doesn't argue for banning A.I. Either you linked the wrong post, or are malicious trying to mislead people (probably the first option).

If you are talking about this post, well, it's a unfortunate situation. The user is just tired of seeing the same post again and again, talking about which jobs will be automated and other what ifs. They even say "for a couple of weeks".

Authoritarians are rampant everywhere. And surging.

No one is forcing people to post about AI. It sounds like the active posters are posting on topics that interest them, while the others are just whining rather than stepping up and posting themselves.

Who cares.

Futurology is a garbage sub full of literal idiots and this site would be a better place of it imploded. It's not like containment boards actually work on Reddit anymore. Whiny doomers dominate this site more each day. The comments there are indistinguishable from r/technology. What a waste.

r/futurism seems a promising replacement

I suppose they could use some more posts about robots instead

Maybe they are checking if other users feel that way? It's a discussion/suggestion post. It's very common to users of a subreddit discuss the kind of content that is appearing, discuss if it's overwhelming, and change the rules if people agree.

It happens in almost every sub that gets a high influx of content of a specific topic. That's how you end up with specific days for specific kinds of posts.

The mod of that sub doesn't seem to think that it is a problem, so it's no biggie.

Coping mechanism. Some can't handle the overstimulation of seeing something too often. It overwhelms their brains.
