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.
Because it’s trendy and it’s a new thing people can feel outraged about together. And when you really drill down into the arguments, the problem is invariably with the way technology is used under capitalism rather than technology itself.
Well hardly anyone here would claim that LLMs and machine learning are bad tech.
I think you would be surprised. Read on and be astounded.
Nailed it in one! 👏
