What about good vs bad humans?

Or humans who create paperclips versus those who don't?

I thought I just said that.

Can't their be good humans who don't create paperclips and just destroy antipaperclips and staples and such?

Destroying antipaperclips is creating paperclips.

I didn't know humans had the concept though.

What is an antipaperclip?

Comment author: Clippy 21 August 2012 11:50:16PM 3 points [-]

Anything not a paperclip, or in opposition to further paperclipping. You might ask, "Why not just say 'non-paperclips'?" but anti-paperclips include paperclips deliberately designed to unbend, or which work at anti-paperclip purposes (say, a paperclip being used to short-circuit the electrical systems in a paperclip factory).
