Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Like was it a meaningful debate or a flat out flame war? And what was the main theme you were arguing over?

You keep changing the question.

You asked why people dislike AI. I gave you reasons. Now you're arguing whether AI users should be legally responsible for misuse. That's a completely different conversation.

And your gasoline analogy falls apart because gasoline isn't designed to generate persuasive text, images, voices, or code at scale. AI is. The concern isn't that it's "a tool" it's that it's a tool that dramatically lowers the cost and effort required to produce plagiarism, scams, misinformation, and deepfakes. Society has always treated technologies differently when they massively change capability and scale. That's why we have regulations for cars that don't apply to horses, and aviation laws that don't apply to bicycles.

As for the "fuck_ai" crowd: congratulations, you've found some extremists on the internet. They aren't representative of everyone who criticizes AI. You asked why people dislike it, not whether literally every critic wants it banned.

The irony is that you've spent this entire discussion asking for reasons people hate AI, then dismissed every reason as either "humans do it too," "it's already illegal," or "those people are morons." You didn't come looking for reasons you came looking for excuses to ignore them.

Yep, you were right all along. I'm right there with you one hundred percent, my brother in hate. AI has no redeeming value, it's evil. Let's go find people that disagree with us and torment them together! We'll show them what it means to disagree with the mob.

I've never used AI and never will.

You can't think of an actual argument with substance, so you're just going to try and paint me as someone hateful. How embarrassing for you.

[–] Epp@lemmus.org 1 points 5 hours ago

I don't know what you're talking about. Only an idiot would use AI. Who wants to angry up a bunch of totally rational people who very intelligently and logically realize AI is evil, with no redeeming features? Certainly not me.

So I've never used AI, and I never will use AI. That's what my Steam developer page says, and that's not going to change. It's not worth the hate you're targeted with. Plus I hear it eats babies and steals all the art in your home while you sleep.

So I've never used AI, and I never will use AI.
