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.
Assuming you’re talking about generative AI and most (or all?) chatbots - the only people who ‘like’ it are the rich, the elderly, the tech illiterate, and the right-wing. None of these has any presence on Lemmy. Or on reddit, for that matter. AI sentiment is pretty much the same across the two platforms, from what I’ve seen.
The only places where I’ve seen any kind of unironic pro-AI content is Facebook and LinkedIn. So basically platforms filled with the aforementioned groups.
This is probably the worst take on the entire thread. Bravo! That takes skill to be so wrong.
