    i like to point out that companies are using ai to be a boogeyman to distract you. take every article tou read and remove ai from the text or replace it with automation/algorithm.

    even the jobs. 5 years ago it was “company lays off 10000 employees” response was “fuck management” – today they are doing the same thing but add “because ai” and everyone now says “fuck ai”.

      I think it is very much both. I think that many people being clubbed and beaten by this AI stick know that someone’s swinging it.

        A tool is only as good or bad as the one using it. Ai is no different.

        If AI wasn’t being swung around by a bunch of dipshits and being overly inflated and left to grow at a reasonable pace instead of trying to hyper scale it faster then it reasonably should.

        I doubt literally anyone would have a real issue with ai.

        You don’t need massive data centers, you don’t need to steal the world’s knowledge, you don’t need to replace every human possiable with it.

        But the ones wielding and pushing AI are doing that. And people blame the unthinking tool. Not the idiots using it.

        And this said as someone who fucking hates AI as it currently is

      Yeah, most of the analysis I have seen has shown job losses due to AI have amounted to less than 1% of job losses in the US. Most of the losses are because of… just look at the White House. Easier to blame AI than actually admit politics is causing some serious issues.
