"Noone in the vegan community fell in love with me for asking if eating meat is really that bad. I feel victimised."

Kinda unsurprising to see extremist stances on AI in a community called "Fuck AI".

Things are weird, I didn’t see things like that even on Reddit

Also unsurprising, Reddit uses all kinds of AI, bots, algorithms and general anti-user behavior, someone who is still there despite all that is unlikely to be very critical of AI.

Is this entire post about complaining about getting a downvote?

3 day old OP: hey fuckAI how do you feel about using AI?

Community: we are 100% against it. Look at the community.

3 day old OP: why am I being downvoted?

You really can't take the hint can you mate?

There are two separate issues here, and as usual, two wrongs don’t make right.

1. know your audience. Other people in this thread explained to you why you shouldn’t expect an open minded discussion of that subject in that specific community, and you don’t seem very receptive to that. To what extent do you think you yourself are looking for an echo chamber?
2. yeah, some folks in that community are in a bubble, I think posting every little news piece that can even be remotely construed as negative for AI, and then getting together under it and repeating the same oversimplified comments every day (it’s a stochastic parrot!) is a form of group therapy for those who are in denial. A bit like the people in John Wilson’s show who move to a farm in the middle of nowhere to escape 5G, and complain to the landlord that wifi is weak. But the problem that makes them/us angry is very real, unlike 5G phobia.

Edit: to speak to the actual topic: I think LLMs and other AI tools are extremely powerful productivity aids that already transformed how practically any type of knowledge work is done, from software to healthcare to writing to research. But it is being deployed at scale in a way that seems to be ruining the internet experience, many previously useful software, and the everyday lives of many people, and this is just after 3 years. It seems to be impossible to opt out from the transformation that is happening, and it’s hard not to be disappointed in the new world that’s taking shape right now.

Edit 2: if you didn’t see such things on Reddit, travel back in time to mid 2025, open the cybertruck sub, and ask if they think the _____ feature is cool. Let me know how it goes.
