Reply to comment by robothistorian in How the concept: Banality of evil developed by Hanna Arendt can be applied to AI Ethics in order to understand the unintentional behaviour of machines that are intelligent but not conscious. by AndreasRaaskov

Thank you for the extra sources I will check them out. And hopefully include them in further work.

In the meantime, I hope you have some understanding of the fact that the article was written by a master's student and is freely available, thus not do not expect the same quality and nuance as a book or a paper written by a professor with editorial support and hidden behind a paywall.

I hope one day to get better

If you are going to put something out in public with your name on it (in other words publish) and want it to be taken seriously, then it is necessary to ensure that it is carefully thought through and argued persuasively. This accounts for the "nuance and quality". References are important, but in a relatively informal (non-academic) setting, not mandatory.

Further, professors (and other less senior academics) usually only get editorial support after their work has been accepted for publication, which also means it has been through a number of rounds of peer review.

I am sure if you put in the effort, you will.

Thx for putting in the effort and starting such conversations. Internet is a tough place and there is value in your output before you have the experience to write a professional level article.
