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.

    I mean, take your pick. This is a place where a lot of us…

    • are leftists who disagree with extractive, anti-human economic systems
    • left Reddit because they insisted on controlling how people could connect to each others ideas
    • like the open collaboration of open source, which is getting wrecked by AI
    • like open access communities like wikipedia, which are also getting undermined by AI
    • dislike copyright law, which is being selectively ignored here because the people violating it are rich (on paper)
    • are marginalized people, who tend to be disproportionately effected by AI decision-making
