    Yeah it’s completely wacky hating on people for using some dumb chatbot.

    People would rather hate their neighbor than confront the actual problem - the overwhelming oppression of capitalism, imperialism, etc. Those are the actual reasons why “AI” is terrible.

      Capitalism makes so many things terrible that you just have to go and fight against one of them, even if it’s only one part. Of course it’s technically Capitalism that made AI so horrible, and altho ideally neural networks are a very cool technology, practically they must be fought against to the hilt.

      Those are the actual reasons why “AI” is terrible.

      My main problem with it is how confidently incorrect it constantly is, and the fact that the media ignores this completely and pushes this “AI is smart” shit to the point where the average person doesn’t understand that LLMs are just glorified autocomplete.

        You just perfectly described the average redditor. And I think that’s at the heart of it. How shallow people have become that it’s even a competition.

        Of course I’m joking. The average redditor is not much different from the average lemming, and people have always been morons. Like you are saying, people not realizing it’s just glorified autocomplete. And you “bag of water” not realizing that you’re making a category error.

      If AI would make people stupider even without capitalism, imperialism, whatever, then no those are not the only reasons AI is terrible. Making people stupider is terrible. We have brains for a reason. The things we do with those brains are what gives life value. Depending on a technology to think for us is deeply unwise, and a person doing so will become deeply unwell.

      Yeah that comes to mind, a tactic in fascism is to project the hate of people onto someone or something, away from the actual origins of oppression.

      People are frustrated and don’t know where to put it. Of course it’s fine to vent, but this post in particular “hates the sinner, not the sin”. It even calls AI users a cuck.
