I’ve been on Lemmy for about 2 weeks now, and I’ve noticed a trend:

The VAST majority of posts that mention AI in any manner are some dig or criticism or some other negative commentary, and the rare ones that have anything positive to say about it almost always have negative whatever-Lemmy’s-version-of-karma-is.

I get that AI isn’t without its problems, especially Grok with that “Mechahitler” nonsense a bit ago, but there seems to be particular vitriol here. I’m genuinely curious to know why people hate it so much here.

AI training needs data centers. The companies wouldn't be buying up components without this gold rush.

    And books need paper. Trees wouldn't be cut down if authors quit writing. Therefore, AI and authors are evil.

    (You can train AI without data centers and you can write books without printing them.)
