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.
Lemmy despite having major advantages over Reddit, appeals more to conspiracy theorists, or contrarians. -People who read click-bait headlines and not the actual articles. People that like simplified explanations for things: “AI is bad for the environment”: **not ** "AI is getting more efficient and uses short bursts of processing (for simple questions or images), while computer gaming gets worse and runs 100% constant, and has the same toll on ram scarcity and environmental issues.
So, they gobble up all the negative headlines and parrot the anti-AI propaganda they’re fed.
yea, everyone here is so afraid of different perspectives; unlike you, of course. you just ban people on sight.
Brilliant observation. You must prefer the old ‘arguing with idiots’ approach.
at least we can all agree that you’re an idiot, that’s something I suppose.
Spot on. Ignore the haters; you’re correct in all claims and it angers them to have a mirror held up to their behavior.
I’m well aware of the anti-work, loud vocal minority, dunning Krüger’s, and Lemmy at least shows the upvotes along with the cope votes.
Thanks for the support!
