“It’s extremely hurtful, frankly,” said Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang in a January interview about the “battle of [AI] narratives.”
Isn't admitting you are confused and hurt by why customers don't like a product tantamount to admitting complete incompetence as a CEO?
"We are working on a technology that will accelerate climate change while hopefully making most of the population unemployed in a world where unemployment means you barely get the basic necessities of life, if even that! What? Why are you all booing?
"We're only trying to make all of your jobs obsolete while paying politicians to not tax us, making all consumer electronics outrageously expensive or inaccessible, getting obscenely wealthy by stealing your works of art, making your power bill more expensive, consuming all of your water supply, and accelerating climate change. Why aren't you clapping?"
Jensen can suck my Huang for being such an idiotic shill of vaporware tech that is simultaneously undermining something like 30-40% of the fucking GDP at this point. Fuck you, dude. You’re actively accelerating us towards an economic depression that is going to fucking dwarf 2008.
AI
AI tech bro's look at that list and ask: why do people not like AI?
Boom? If it were a boom, everyone would be prospering by it. It is a money and energy sucking wealth generator for the already very rich and nothing else. It doesn't even do anything reliably after stealing the world's cache of information to "train" it.
We also hate the CEOs
Artificial intelligence is a primary keystone for a science fiction civilization to move its labor from the people to machines, but they obviously ignored the other keystones such as equal rights, shared wealth and further opportunities to all humans. The wealthy want all the wealth and opportunities to themselves; cut the people out of the equation to gain more market and never have to pay the lower class citizens ever again. They clearly designated themselves no longer human. We the people think for ourselves and we the humans should easily abandon them. No longer serve them no matter how much they offer, no longer entertain them no how much they give, no more trust no matter how much they plead. They ignored us for so long and destroyed our world, why should we hear their pleas?
Really illustrative of how out-of-touch people become when they reach a certain level of personal wealth.

They’ve definitely got a marketing problem at the very least. What is the value of AI to an individual that does not correlate to creating more value to their workplace? That needs to be the focus. While there are arguments for and against the value of AI in increasing productivity, at the end of the day, I don’t fundamentally care about my productivity level unless it creates some form of incentive for me. So I’m not being paid more but I MAY produce more. Yay??? What’s the sell here? Why as a standard human would I value this to the point that they value it? I see it negatively harming the things I like such as the internet, music, political discourse, books, and television. What’s the benefit that I personally see? Unless they can drill that value into the masses, they are going to have an image problem.
Aww, did we hurt the poor CEOs fee fees again? 🥺
I remember a time when tech ceos actually used the internet. It seems that now they just get their MBAs, a job, and then spend all their free time avoiding technology and listening to other people tell them what they want to heat
CEOs are generally speaking… calculating. They just want this in the news. They want people talking. Who is interested in an IPO nobody is talking about? Nobody gave a damn about Oracle after they collapsed until their CEO started doing ridiculous shit just to be in headlines, like sparring with Red Hat, as an example.
This product is going to take your job, bit to make it work we need to use all the electricity and water, making them more expensive. We also need to steal all the user data in the world. Why does nobody like it?
The integration of AI into regular, deterministic software bothers me a lot. As a developer, I want my IDE to be consistent so I can feel comfortable that autocompletion and other functions do what I expect. But recently, and at an accelerating rate, I find the IDE to make inconsistent autocompletions - often suggesting a lot more code, which often contains errors and non-existant references.
I could use AI every now and then for work, but I wish it only helped when I'm explicit about it. Currently, it kills workflow and sucks out energy both from me and the grid.
Perhaps if they didn't buy up all the RAM, HDDs , GPUs and making PC building / home computing so expensive, maybe we might consider liking it a bit.
"I can't believe how ungrateful they are that we found a more efficient way to kill them!" Paraphrasing here.
I don't know man Tech CEOs keep talking about their latest shit will replace people's job jee makes me wonder why?
I'll believe CEOs are actually confused or offended the day business articles start giving equal time to labor and capital voices
The lies don't work as manipulation when purchasers and other dumb execs actually use the tools and see what their uses and limitations actually are vs what they are sold to be able to do. So they switch to how could you or it's not good now but next quarter fomo.
They shoved AI everywhere without any concern over what the users want. Now the users are resentful, while the AI bros go Shocked Pikachu Face.
I can’t help but wonder if the public reaction would’ve been more positive if we hadn’t been inundated by AI intrusions in seemingly every facet of technology. In a way, I can appreciate that the hatred is home-grown - the biggest issues I see revolve around the ethical issues stemming from AI’s lack of regulation, and ethical issues don’t tend to make the public react. The fact that people already found their own reasons to dislike AI means we’re all on the same page. If the public were fans, I’d just be dismissed as a bleeding-heart for giving a shit about right and wrong.
But here we are, standing together in hatred. So beautiful.
Because we are not absolute morons incapable of independent thought like they are
It's the same with evangelists. They say society hates god, but what it really hates is assholes who won't leave them alone.
They keep telling us how cool and fun it is. Why won't we believe them? They know what's best for us, and they're going to make us take it whether we want it or not.
Not me, I've never touched the shit.
The only AI feature I have found to be working well is the AI integrated into Jira.
It does an excellent (but pointless) job of summarizing ticket communications.
I say pointless because there is no reason to use it.
However, it does understand Swedish slang and summarizes it properly.
Everyone understands the Tech CEOs bonuses depend on AI replacing human employees. Or at least the ones with rights.
The opinion of anyone confused as to why ‘AI’ is hated should be summarily ignored.
I always get psyched to read articles like this and too often they're just little stubs. I feel like the second this one gets going it just ends.
I wonder why people don't want cloud based AI running their microwave
They are mad at everyone at work for not using the AI tools more. I was told that we aren't seeing productivity gains because people aren't using the tools right but I think it's more that the tools don't live up to expectations so people don't care to use them. They are expecting all this work to be done faster and it's causing everyone to work more. Any productivity gains is from us working all hours of the day
I don’t particularly hate the snake oil, I hate the salesmen.
