Where does that conviction come from? What would be their motivation? Being against AI is not some convenient mainstream thing you just do without genuine reason. The mainstream thing is to embrace AI and not care about the external effects.

And what is creative about saying "this is super useful to me" (and I don't really question your reality there) while ignoring the external costs of one's benefits? TBH: That sounds more opportunistic and maybe hedonistic than creative.

I don't know how active you are on social media these days, but do humor the possibility that you're partly to fully oblivious to the very specific behavior the anti AI camp repeatedly engages in, and that maybe you're well within the 1% I mentioned.

That's a troll army using AI as an excuse to harass people just as they did with other topics before, I guess? I actually mainly heard about that from you. Disgusting. I have an AI critical bubble over at mastodon and that one is very factual. So in my world, the genuine criticism is more present.

I mean, the conclusion still is very clear in that bubble and I think, some emotional reaction is alright when the facts you take into consideration hint that "that thing" destroys a lot of what you love. Harassing people still is a no-go under any circumstances.

What does "mainstream" or "not mainstream" have to do with anything? And what do you mean by "mainstream": who, where, when?

It was my assumption that the 99% were the ones not having genuine reasons for being anti AI but just being against it because it was what "one does right now" (my definition of mainstream). It became clear afterwards the the trolls using AI as a target for their trolling were meant with the 99%.
