    Is this comment AI or just regular run of the mill Lemmy doomerism?

      It’s always funny to see comments like this, dismissing AI critics by calling them “doomers”, while society as a whole is still dealing with the consequences of the last widespread tech fad: social networks.

          Sorry about that. Let’s call it “another technology specifically designed by large corporations to be extractive and destructive”.

            well I mean AI helps me every day at my job, there are jobs I would have turned down before that would have taken thousands of hours but thanks to AI I only spent 10’s of hours on them

            I also use AI 5-10 times per day for personal reasons

            Social media on the other hand is a plague of garbage and I wish facebook and twitter would be deleted off the net

              Weird take. You would have turned down a job because it takes “too long”? The whole point of wages is to get money for your time.

              Also, highly doubt something that would take you a “thousand hours” now can be done with AI in tens. Something useful, I mean.

              Social media on the other hand is a plague of garbage and I wish facebook and twitter would be deleted off the net

              You clearly weren’t around when it all started. Social media was peddled as a legitimately useful thing. People organized around Facebook groups, and stopped paying telecommunication companies for SMS usage because of WhatsApp. LinkedIn became the dominant player in white collar job seeking. In Asia, super apps like Line or Kakao or WeChat became so popular, they became the mainstream way of finding, contacting and paying businesses for services. Twitter was the place for legitimate reporters to post short form content.

              It all went downhill afterwards. Most people thought, at the beginning, that social media would revolutionize the world as we knew it. They just didn’t know it wouldn’t be in a good way.

                Maybe put your response into AI and have it re-write it for you to come across as less of a dick

                  My .md files have a prompt to keep things honest, so either way, you would have gotten the same result.

      In case you’re really interested I am alive and well and able to think myself. It’s neither and if you don’t agree that’s absolutely fine by me.

      It’s one of the things I’d live to be proven wrong.

        A brief glance at the entire history of humanity would indicate that what they are saying is true.

          Less than 0.01% of human history has even been documented…

          Just because you can’t imagine anything better than what you were raised in doesn’t mean it can’t exist…

          This too shall pass.
