I guess it is inevitable that self centred ego-stroking bubble communities appear in platforms such as Lemmy. Where reasoned polite discussion is discouraged and opposing opinions are drowned.
Well, I’ll just leave this comment here in the hope someone reads it and realises how bad these communities actually are. There’s a lot to hate about AI (specially companies dedicated to sell it), but not all is bad. As any technology, is about how you use it and this kind of community is all about cancelling everything and never advance and improve.
There is utility in ai. E.g. in medical stuff like detecting cancer.
Sadly, the most funded ai stuff is LLMs and image generation AIs. These are bad.
And a lot of ai stuff have major issue with racism.
“But ai has potential!!!” Yeah but it isn’t there and actively harms people. “But it could…” but it isn’t. Hilter could have fought against discrimination but sadly he chose the Holocaust and war. The potential of good is irrelevant to the reality of bad. People hate the reality of it and not the pipe dreams of it.
Well the environmental costs are pretty high… One request to chatgpt 3.5 was guessed to be 100 times more expensive than a Google search request. Plus training.
This doesn’t change no matter the use case. Same with the copyright issues.

The way it’s being used sucks tho

Oh, you had to deliberately Godwin a perfectly good point. Take my upvote nevertheless 😂
Well I think it makes the point very clear.
