i was under the impression that were explicitly against genAI but i found that some people are actually VERY pro genai and quite dismissive of its risks. this happened on lemmy but i saw people getting downvoted for saying that genAI in its current state is harmful to the environment. i saw the old bullshit of how ”i use AI for art because i cant draw”, it was crazy. i called someone a Promptitute and someone unironically told me not to say that, just so much. so can everybody pls affirm you dont support that crap.
another user straight up admitted that they use AI as a friend and to gn to… i dont care how much we have in common ideologically, i cant support you gning to chatgpt and thinking its your friend…
LLMs suck and the people who love them are likely the same people who were convinced that NFTs and meme tokens were the future as well.
i literally saw someone comparing gen ai in art to sewing to make clothes and im still so upset about this because it was supposed to be a ”comrade”.
That makes no sense at all? If they’re talking about mechanical sewing machines then that’s most comparable to digital art, not generative AI.
The people are desperate for a future that doesn’t exist. We’re at the end of history, and until a new world is born the old one will continue as a fever dream.
