What's with all the people on here asking, 'Can I do this with AI, can I do that with AI' lately?
-
I barely see a single post like this.
Maybe Lemmy.org is federated with some different folks, but where are you seeing them? From here, it even seems super rare even in places you might expect, like self-hosted or the dbz0 tech circles.
Here's two, one I scrolled across and one that came up in a search.

And one of those is on the LocalLLaMA community, which is for people running LLMs locally, so it's a pretty safe bet that they aren't going to have any fundamental ideological problems with LLMs. If you go to [email protected], [email protected], or similar, it'd be very surprising if you found people who had an issue with generative AI.
That one kind of reminds me of when I first showed up here and was using kbin, which puts random posts in the sidebar to encourage discoverability. Both myself and another new kbin user wound up in some thread on a pawb.social community. The other guy --- who probably didn't understand the structure of the Threadiverse or where he was commenting --- was complaining about "all these furries" in the thread.

So, why are there so many posts asking 'Can I do this with AI, can I do that with AI' popping up on here recently? I thought most of the Fediverse would've been anti-AI based on its general demographics.

I've seen quite a few ai products that are just if/then statements ducktaped together that say they have "ai".

Wouldn't the simplest explanation be that your assumption was wrong?
wrote last edited by [email protected]And their other assumption is wrong too - just because i don't like the existence of ai doesn't mean I'm not gonna use it.
If I had a button to make ai go away forever then i would hit that button, but unfortunately that's not possible. Pandora's box has been opened and ai isn't ever going to disappear, so might as well use it to get its upsides since we're forced to deal with its downsides anyway. Not using ai won't cause ai to go away

I reckon I have the same amount of data against AI as anyone has for it.

By which do you mean "nothing but vibes?" I'm not trying to support a particular position here, I'm just challenging yours. If you've got nothing to back it up then you're just throwing your own personal opinion into the ring and that's not really worth much.

Fair enough.

Nah, most people hate AI for one (or more) of a few reasons:
-
Billionaires own it, if it takes off it exacerbates wealth inequality.
-
It's burning our planet down.
-
The data centers are using entire communities water.
-
The AI is ripping off human artists.
-
People are getting obsessed with it, and the more they use it the less capable they are without it.
I have no idea where you're spending time that you think most people here like AI...

He didn't say "here". The truth is, most people aren't against AI. Fediverse users are not an accurate representation of the public at large. Get out more.

The way it's being pushed into everyone's lives is bad.
True, that negates all circumstances where AI is an effective tool.

https://lemmy.org/post/1929831+1 to tal, that's not a lot.
However I do see a lot of the first post 'type' on Reddit. There a lot of that spam in /r/localllama.
But it's not AI specific, as I see a lot of that in technical forums as well: just some drive-by poster briefly asking for help, with no details, and never bothering to reply in the comments.
