A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

No they don't? Like hundreds of millions of people use it every day ??
It's like saying "Everyone hates smoking", which is broadly true, since it affects everyone, not just the smokers. And there's definitely hundreds of millions of smokers who smoke every day.
I cant speak for all us smoker but I too hate smoking
You tried vaping? I had to use pretty high nic juice, but it got me off coughin' nails, and eventually off vaping too.
Naw, y'all just live in a bubble and think Lemmy (and reddit) are representative of the average person in any way.
How does that have anything to do with what I wrote?

This is taking into account just chatgpt by itself, not including the hundreds of millions of people who use the ai summary at the top of google who you don't hear about, you just see your uncle or family member copying and pasting it into the family chat
then you've got articles like

When average jane is using AI that's when you know the tech has crossed over into the mainstream, they sure as hell weren't using blockchain
The number, of course, is grossly inflated, since the statistical engines are now embedded in virtually everything, and it's really difficult to even avoid them.
I.e. If you type something in google, and there's an AI summary at the top, it 100% counts that as an 'active use'.
The person in the article needs professional help, please don't propagate anecdotal sob stories (that may or may not be false) on "Fuck AI". "Fuck" in "Fuck AI" is not what you think it means.
I think they mean those image generating AIs. We should have a specific name for them IMO, because AI is very useful in research, for example.
I think "AI slop" is the de facto nomenclature.
Doesn't that include text? Could work though.
There’s a lot of text slop too
There are a lot of ppl who like them for generating their personal niche porn they can't get otherwise. You won't get many to openly admit it tho 😁
That's probably the one thing where it's good if AI takes away the 'work' from real people.
Take a moment to consider the context of the thread, and what the person you replied to specifically meant by "AI".
We just need to get around to recognizing it as a tool that has its good and bad uses. I really hate the bad parts of AI but don’t hate all AI.
It's like every other technological innovation we've made. It's not going to go "back in the box". We need to figure out how to appropriately use it to make our lives better and mitigate the bad. Then again we still haven't figured that out with cellphones.
Require AI companies to respect personal data rights and to not force it on everyone. We use AI in science and technology as a tool where the data used for training is comparable to the data used for models and humans verify the output, which is the appropriate way to use it to make our lives better and the process mitigates the bad.
It is the megacops that are choosing to use it in the worst fucking ways that is the problem.
Yes but we don't care what the people who use AI think because they are pretty stupid for doing so.
AI usage impairs cognition. Those people have been removed from the census.
Dehumanising people you don't agree with is never the right way to go.
