    When people say this they are usually talking about a very specific sort of generative LLM using unsupervised learning.

    AI is a very broad field with great potential, the improvements in cancer screening alone could save millions of lives over the coming decades. At the core it's just math, and the equations have been in use for almost as long as we've had computers. It's no more good or bad than calculus or trigonometry.

    No hope commenting like this, just get ready getting downvoted with no reason. People use wrong terms and normalize it.

    See I get the point of people hating what they call 'AI' here, I totally get it but I can't see people using wrong terms since I know the correct one. The big corpos already misuse the term saying everything they made AI without specifying what kind of AI it is and people here that I assume techie also went to the wrong path (so you guys sounds the same as those evils, and u fell on the marketing). It's not about whataboutism — it's fixing what people always normalize using wrong terms when talking about technical stuff. I don't care if you still don't get it tho, I do what I can for saying the truth. And I don't think you do know what 'whataboutism' really is.

    Providing a counterexample to a claim is not whataboutism.

    Whataboutism involves derailing a conversation with an ad-hominem to avoid addressing someone's argument, like what you just did.

    Yeah, go cry about it. People use AI to help themselves while you’re just being technophobic, shouting ‘AI is bad’ without even saying which AI you mean. And you’re doing it on Lemmy, a tiny techno-bubble. Lmao.

    So cancer cell detection is now bad and those doing it should feel bad?

    The world isn't black'n white.

    If it tries to be smart about that bad and good ai exists, then it's a very poor take.

    It actually proves my point by showing that everything is not black and white (emg AI has lots of good uses, and also lots of medium uses and also bad uses).

    You also tried to put words in my mouth, that isn't looking very smart instead of explaining what the metaphor was all about.

    Would love an explanation on how I'm in the wrong on reducing my work week from 40 hours to 15 using AI.

    Existing in predatory capitalistic system and putting the blame on those who utilize available tools to reduce the predatory nature of our system is insane.

    Because when your employer catches on, they'll bring you back up to 40 anyway.

    And probably because those 15 hours now produce shit quality.

    My employer is pushing AI usage, if the work is done the work is done. This is the reality we're supposed to be living in with AI, just conforming to the current predatory system because "AI bad" actively harms more than it helps.

  • The current predatory system will raise the limit on the 40 work week if they're allowed to. 60. 80. You might not even get a weekend. Unions fought for your weekend.

    AI does not fundamentally change this relationship. It is the same predatory system.
