Do techbros that complain on the Fediverse about people hating on AI realize it isn't just here that hates AI? (sopuli.xyz)

Everyone pretty much hates it, its just here is one of the few places online where money and stupidity can't be waved around frantically to hide that.

Ok, where is your quantified (not anecdotal) data backing that up?

    Where's yours? You just claimed that EVERYONE hates AI. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. There's use cases where it makes some sense, some where it doesn't. There's people who use it for everything, people who use it occasionally and people who avoid it like the plague.

    Ok I already posted some elsewhere in this thread but here is some more evidence.

    https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2025/09/17/how-americans-view-ai-and-its-impact-on-people-and-society/

    Furthermore, majorities of adults under 30 say the increased use of AI in society will make people worse at thinking creatively (61%) and forming meaningful relationships with other people (58%). In comparison, about four-in-ten adults ages 65 and older say AI will make people worse in these areas.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11564086/#%3A%7E%3Atext=source+of+this+advice+%2Cimportant+objective+of+future+research

    In two preregistered studies (n = 2,280), we presented participants with scenarios of patients obtaining medical advice. All participants received identical information, but we manipulated the putative source of this advice (‘AI’, ‘human physician’, ‘human + AI’). ‘AI’- and ‘human + AI’-labeled advice was evaluated as significantly less reliable and less empathetic compared with ‘human’-labeled advice. Moreover, participants indicated lower willingness to follow the advice when AI was believed to be involved in advice generation. Our findings point toward an anti-AI bias when receiving digital medical advice, even when AI is supposedly supervised by physicians. Given the tremendous potential of AI for medicine, elucidating ways to counteract this bias should be an important objective of future research.

    This is evidence for a different message. Sorry, but that's neither a proof for 'everbody' nor 'hates AI'.

    My only claim was that it's not black and white. And even the chart you posted yourself proofs me right with that. It lists four disciplines. Some of them seem to resonate better with AI than others and while the participants overall see higher negative effects, there are also those who see it as an improvement. And in case of those who stated that AI will make certain things worse, it doesn't mean that they hate it. There are many things I dislike, but much fewer things I actually hate.

    Espcially if you argue with scientific studies, you should be as precise as possible. My advise to you would be to be a bit more nuanced and differentiated with your claims. But up to you of course.
