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.
There are some basic responsibilities they need to meet like not violating copyright and licensing on source material creating a double standard where corp slop can pirate without charges but individuals can’t and building and running data centers that aren’t in conflict with the community they are running in. They also should have warnings about anthropomorphizing language models that don’t think or reason but I’d settle for the first two to start.
As usual it’s not the technology that’s the problem, it’s the dumbass way it’s implemented in a profit motive
