AI writing just means "writing I don't like" now. Just like Nazi means whatever and whoever I politically disagree with. Words have lost their meaning.

Just like "violence" can now mean speech you don't agree with, "genocide" means military action you don't agree with, and nobody seems to know what "woman" means anymore, Maybe the solution is to stop using words.

You're right that Nazi doesn't mean Nazi anymore. It means neonazi / white supremacist / white nationalist, which is a much broader group of people that, for some baffling reason, are under the impression that people don't care about their fascism and racism anymore.

"You guys are fucking nazis" - said the drunk young guy to the police when he was arrested for fighting outside a bar.

"You guys are fucking dogs" - someone said that the other day, and, of course, it means that the word "dog" lost its meaning.

Good example, since bitch certainly has lost a lot of its original meaning.

Nice strawman. I doubt the white supremacists / nationalists / nazis even want you to come to their defense if you're going to be weak about it.

Clearly not, or this wouldn't be something people discuss at all.

There are lots of people who belong to the above groups, sure, but at least here in Germany Nazi is now applied to basically anyone who doesn't vote green, it's ridiculous.
