Rather than using ChatGPT's image skills to create Studio Ghibli-style pictures, a Greek woman decided to experiment with the trend of AI tasseography – a form of...
I’m going to take a risk and leave here the shortcut for Wikipedia’s page on eugenics.
Next I’m going to add that a person acting/navigating their life based off stupidity or delusion incur in an incresead probability of, by their own actions and choices, remove themselves from the population either by isolation, self endangerment or any behavior that for some reasons makes them non eligible as viable partners.
This isn’t about a group being labelled and targeted by another for forceful removal of society.
I think it is wildly inappropriate to try to tell someone that they shouldn’t have kids. Intelligence or looks are not something you can measure are you will always favor people who are like you.
Also the entire idea of Eugenics is complete BS. Trying to bread a human population has no real impact as you would need to commit genocide. Humans are not nearly as simple as a pea plants.
People with currently-known genes for conditions like Tay-Sachs (recessive gene, if a baby gets two copies they are a normal baby the first several months, then get progressive nerve damage until they die around three), or Huntington’s (relevant gene is dominant, but condition manifests in adulthood) may choose not to have kids, or use technology like PGD to select embryos without the relevant genes, or in the case of recessive genes may refuse as spouse any potential partner that also has the gene.
Those are complicated decisions, and nothing should be forced, but it’s important to be able to talk about. There shouldn’t be a taboo on talking about how parents’ decisions affect their children, even if those decisions involve genetics.
These people are on the fast lane for removing themselves from the gene pool in never before imagined ways.
The (now divorced) couple do have 2 kids so those genes will continue existing well into the future.
Still not sure I entirely believe the story but there are a few other mentions with a bit more details

Perhaps we shouldn’t make jokes about Eugenics
Perhaps, some day, you will actually go figure out what Eugenics is and prevent yourself from posting stupid comments like this :)

When I was still on reddit, I would occasionally come across a comment I liked.
It could be something as simple as “The (local sports team) is going to (do something sports related) this year!”
And I, without context, would reply “Please have babies.”
Sometimes massive upvotes. Sometimes massive downvotes.
NEVER made any sense. And thats fine.
