It’s the year 2026. All of Lemmy has been conquered by AI haters.
All of Lemmy? No. A small instance resists: Lemmygrad.
Oh yeah, Lemmy is overwhelmingly against AI in any capacity. I’m one of the few that finds it useful for a handful of things and generally defend that use. That being said, it’s definitely important to understand that “hallucinations” are a thing (though not nearly as prevalent as those here would claim), it’s a major problem for the arts industry at large, it’s objectively making people dumber (great studies on students who over rely on it), and there are terrible climate implications.
It’s just a tool, and like any other tool there are pros and cons, and it should be used responsibly. But yeah, Lemmy hates the shit out of anything AI
Most rational comment I’ve read. I’m going to have fun on Lemmy, I do appreciate you can be very unpopular and it doesn’t silence you. Appreciate your comment too :)
I am not “against” AI. I am against unfettered capitalism and how it is poisoning humanity. AI can hold the same kind of promise that Internet v1 had before the first eternal September. But because of the “success” of the capitalization of the web, folks are flocking to AI on the assumption that something similar will happen to it. I see it as a gold rush. Some boom towns may happen along the way. Some may endure. But it’s still very early to know that.
