The dogmatically anti-AI fraction of Lemmy tend to forget or not care that anyone who uses AI is still a person. Their behavior trends toward judgmental and cliquish, performing for the approval of others. This results in the same harm to the online social landscape that some express concern with be caused by the rise of AI.

It reminds me very much of teen behavior in secondary school, but presumably most of them are adults. Make of that what you will.

For the record, I'm largely and ever-increasingly anti-AI. I'm also increasingly anti-bullying and much of that lot are just bullies using AI protest as a veneer of righteousness. Kinda like some church folk.

Lemmy - downvote because AI

I get the point of the AI hate, that being said, mostly anything is not black and white in the real world.

It's so trendy to hate on AI. Don't worry about the haters. Glad your dad got something to help him!
