    and then everyone clapped

    ChatGPT alone has nearly a billion daily active users. Even accounting for corporate types who are pressured to use it, saying that nobody likes it or wants it is delusional.

      The closest figure I could find said that chat gpt sees around 800 million users per week, not per day. The per month statistics at the height of January 2026 was 5.72 billion visits. Which means about 185 millionish (rounding up) per day. The statistics often go from visits to users. I imagine users means unique users and visits can mean the amount of times anyone has accessed the website. Regardless all of this would mean a majority does not use chat gpt

        Regardless, it also means hundreds of millions of people use it and other AI tools on a daily basis. They’re not all being forced to at gunpoint. Trying to pretend that the opinions of one’s own social circle are “everyone” and that people who disagree do not exist is not a persuasive argument for anything.

            My point was that saying that “everyone hates this” and “nobody wants this” (what the shirt in the post says) is flatly untrue. Whether ChatGPT has a billion daily active users or 500 million weekly active users or whatever is just trivia that doesn’t really change the gist of what I’m saying. Lots and lots and lots of people really like AI tools and use them every single day. Ignoring that fact and pretending like everyone agrees with you is dumb.

    The fuck are all these comments? AI is shit, fuck AI. It fuels billionaires, destroys the environment, kills critical thinking, confidently tells you to off yourself, praises Hitler, advocates for glue as a pizza topping. This tech is a war on artists and free thought and needs to be destroyed. Stop normalizing, stop using it.

        Change this out for any other technology that’s been innovated throughout human history. The printing press semiconductors the internet.

        The anti-ai rhetoric on this platform is becoming nonsensical.

        At this point it’s just bandwagon hate. These people don’t even understand the difference between llms and AIs and the various applications that they have.

          Bullshit, fuck your false equivalency. This tech is good at generaating slop, propaganda, and destroying critical thinking. Thats it. It has zero value.

        So what is AI in your opinion because LLMs fall under that umbrella.

          My opinion. AI is a way to improve a computer models accuracy over time based on new data.

          I could even argue that ChatGPT etc. are not AI because the LLMs are not directly learning from the inputs they are receiving.

              The G means Generative

              The P means Pre-trained.

              The T means Transformer.

              It is not learning directly from its users, although the planned state-full amazon infrastructure will likely change thos.

        Doesn’t work that way unfortunately. Ask a person on the street what AI is and theyll tell you whatever flavor slop generator they’re familiar with. You’re not going to see much pushback on ML around the Fediverse.
