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 the entire point of it is to extract capital without having to pay for labor. That’s what the push to develop it is. Of course it’s losing money, once the companies that are training it think they can, it won’t matter that they lost money, because they’ll be able to print money for free after it’s fully cooked.

    It’s also fucking lazy to use it. Exercise your brain. Think thoughts for yourself. Improve yourself to the point where you don’t need to have a machine organize your thoughts for you.
