I’ve been on Lemmy for about 2 weeks now, and I’ve noticed a trend:
The VAST majority of posts that mention AI in any manner are some dig or criticism or some other negative commentary, and the rare ones that have anything positive to say about it almost always have negative whatever-Lemmy’s-version-of-karma-is.
I get that AI isn’t without its problems, especially Grok with that “Mechahitler” nonsense a bit ago, but there seems to be particular vitriol here. I’m genuinely curious to know why people hate it so much here.
Me, personally, a couple of reasons:
Without wanting to sound like a pretentious twat I think art made without a soul is the antithesis of art.
People ask dumb questions that a quick web search would answer.
The blurring between what is real and what isn’t.
Capitalism suggesting that there might only be two or three “non-human entities” controlling the entire internet soon.
The fear of another economic bubble.
It making people stupider.
The fokken poes that is an anagram of my user name being involved. Plus all the other bros too.
Fear of something that has the power to potentially go beyond thought.
The absolute ease of facilitating surveillance.
