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.

    Why are people pretending all those issue appeared with AI? You think the environment would be less fucked without AI? Artists? Education?

    It’s like people complaining about smartphones making kids depressed. Like growing up during an apocalypse wouldn’t be the main cause? Perhaps?

    These are the results of the long sharp road of capitalism. With or without “AI” we would be fucked.

      Literally yes to all of your stupid questions. Any others?

      nobody is saying these attacks are solely caused by AI. but shoehorning it into every place of work , every classroom, every TV set and youtube video is making things worse.

      Nobody was running dozens of fucking diesel and natural gas generators to keep their minecraft server up, you fucking potato.
