I work in the AI world and understand a lot of reasons to hate AI (like how every company is trying to ram it down people’s throats). However I am genuinely curious why the hate is so popular, and what arguments/opinions people have, and would like to hear the discussion.
Even advertising, which is forced on everyone and disliked, doesn’t seem to get as vocal a response for hate.
Why do you hate AI? Why do you think the hate is so vocal/common/strong?
After reading comments:
I am thinking it’s simply:
-
Have aspects that people can strongly dislike eg the points people list.
-
Be forced into everyone’s life and media constantly.
Like a similar psychological phenomenon to when Nickelback was hated, but magnified by being more serious and grounded.
I think that we should also be careful with where the hate is directed, since modelling learning of distributed systems at scale is very essential science and technology to be able to understand biology, physics, neuroscience, etc. The only way humanity currently scales new technologies unfortunately is through the capital machine, and the scale is a necessary component of this science.
