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.

    Ai:

    • ruins the planet by polution
    • is used to influence political discourse, erase facts and history.
    • is a tool brought to you by people who at the very least don’t want the masses to be free (look up palantir owner)
    • is being pushed with the end goals to have a tool of mass surveillance and control.
    • makes people abandon their ability to think critically (or in general really)
    • is used to violate copyrights by it’s very design. If you think artists have been undervalued so far just you wait. They don’t want creative people anymore.

    Take your pick, it’s war and you’re in it.
