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.

    Keep in mind that the people against AI are usually very vocal about it, while the ones who use it stay quiet

    Because of that, it’s easy to get the wrong impression about how most people actually feel

        So just slightly quieter than the Arch users, who are only a little more vocal than typical Linux users?

      If you’re gonna make shit up at least try to make it remotely believable

        It’s very believable, who wants to admit to having a different opinion when everyone is so angry about something?

          Only those who want to be a lightning rod for insults. I’ve learned not to speak out against the mob. Let them rant and just laugh instead.

        Okay how about the ones who use it have frequently been reported in the news as having ai psychosis. 😄 That’s truth.

        I know I’m never speaking up on it again. I was wrong in my response to this post; people who hate AI are just morons. There’s no use discussing anything at all with them.

            Nice one. Very appropriate. I only wish it was animated. Maybe AI could turn it into a GIF for you? I bet the results would be interesting, at a minimum.

                Huh, it’s not animated for me. Even when clicking to open it in another window. Oh well, I’ve seen the episode enough that it may as well be animated when I look at it.
