“Anyone could have made this in a day” Ok but no one did

I remain convinced that fewer than 1% of AI detractors are genuinely concerned about environment, politics, capital, and the remaining 99% are just fundamentally uncreative, joyless people who use these talking points as a cover because they don't want to be found out

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.

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.
