My understanding is most of you are anti AI? My only question is…why? It is the coolest invention since the Internet and it is remarkable how close it can resemble actual consciousness. No joke the AI in sci fi movies is worse than what we actually have in many ways!
Don’t get me wrong, I am absolutely anti “AI baked into my operating system and cell phone so that it can monitor me and sell me crap”. If that’s what being Anti AI is…to that I say Amen.
But simply not liking a privacy conscious experience or utilization of AI at all? I’m not getting it?
ignoring the hate-brigade for a moment.
it used to be the case, and perhaps is still partially true. lemmy users are a bit more tech savvy on average.
and i think there’s frustration among those people who actually understand how modern “AI” systems work under the hood, frequently with a far better real-world understanding than many of it’s loud proponents. and they tire of being told they “don’t get it”. when they actually do get it. better than the person telling them they don’t, but they’re utterly drowned out in the mindless hype train of the willfully ignorant masses.
and the thing fueling the hype train are dishonest greedy people who are not only happy to push the grift over responsible and well engineered “AI” technology.
but, and this is the real crux of it, keep the amazing true potential of “AI” technology in the hands of the rich & powerful. rather than using it to liberate society.
