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 genuinely thought Blockchain technology was the worst thing to happen for Earth’s climate, and then techbro grifters and capitalists came out with a technology with an even less favourable use case to environmental destruction ratio.
The planet is already fucked and these bastards have just found yet one more way to stick the boot in and hasten the end.
This is just one issue I have with it. On top of that we have the inevitable financial crash that will affect us plebs more than the elites, the job losses and further concentration of capital in the hands of the few, assuming AI actually delivers on its promises, and the mountains of brain rotting slop that it spits out. Oh, I also forgot the cost inflation of computer parts and energy bills for regular people.
What’s so great about AI that you can ignore all of this? Was your life pre-LLM unliveable or something?
You know, the more i use AI and the more i’m convinced that without human interaction that drives it, it is basically useless. AI must be used with distrust at your heart, rather than with reverence.
