I guess it is inevitable that self centred ego-stroking bubble communities appear in platforms such as Lemmy. Where reasoned polite discussion is discouraged and opposing opinions are drowned.
Well, I’ll just leave this comment here in the hope someone reads it and realises how bad these communities actually are. There’s a lot to hate about AI (specially companies dedicated to sell it), but not all is bad. As any technology, is about how you use it and this kind of community is all about cancelling everything and never advance and improve.
Yeah, there’s legitimate complains against GAI and most of all the companies trying to lead it. But having a community where the only point of view accepted has to be direct and absolute hatred including towards people trying to look at adequate and ethical usage of the technology is just plainly bad and stupid just like any other social bubble.
There is utility in ai. E.g. in medical stuff like detecting cancer.
Sadly, the most funded ai stuff is LLMs and image generation AIs. These are bad.
And a lot of ai stuff have major issue with racism.
“But ai has potential!!!” Yeah but it isn’t there and actively harms people. “But it could…” but it isn’t. Hilter could have fought against discrimination but sadly he chose the Holocaust and war. The potential of good is irrelevant to the reality of bad. People hate the reality of it and not the pipe dreams of it.
Obviously not all AI is bad, but it’s clear the current way GenAI is being developed, and the most popular, mainstream options are unethical. Being against the unethical part requires taking a stand against the normalization and widespread usage of these tools without accountability.
You’re not the wise one amongst fools, you’re just being a jerk and annoying folks who see injustice and try to do something about it.
I guess it’s inevitable that self-centered, pseudo-intellectual individuals like you would appear in platforms such as Lemmy to ask for civility and attention while spouting bullshit.
Well the environmental costs are pretty high… One request to chatgpt 3.5 was guessed to be 100 times more expensive than a Google search request. Plus training.
This doesn’t change no matter the use case. Same with the copyright issues.

The way it’s being used sucks tho

Oh, you had to deliberately Godwin a perfectly good point. Take my upvote nevertheless 😂
Well I think it makes the point very clear.

Also these “Fuck AI” people are usually the biggest hypocrites, they use AI behind the scenes
