Because pretty much nobody wants it or likes it.
why do you say AI is a universally regarded negative?

That’s just not true, chatgpt & co are hugely popular, which is a big part of the issue.

Nazism was hugely popular in Germany in the early 20th century, but was it a good thing?

You do realize the root of this thread was this question, right?
why do you say AI is a universally regarded negative?

Analogies are fallacies. All they do is reveal that you can’t argue the merits of the topic at hand, so you need to derail and distract by pivoting to something else.
Now we need to debate the accuracy of your analogy, which is never 1:1, instead of talking about what we were talking about previously.
You’re also arguing with the wrong person. You should be talking to the person who argued “AI is a negative because pretty much nobody likes it” instead of the person who says it’s not true that “nobody likes it.”
AI discussion at this point are litmus tests for who is an average layman that lets other laymen do their thinking for them. It really puts into perspective how much popular opinion should be scrutinized.

Hugely popular, mostly with a bunch of dorks nobody likes that much.
People are getting the message now, but when it first came out, there were so many posts about what ChatGPT had to say about the topic, and the posters never seemed to understand why nobody cared.

I want it and I like it. I’ve been using llms for years now with great benefit to myself.
Like any tool one just needs to know how to use them. Apparently you don’t.

I think you’re mistaken – there are a large number of people who vehemently dislike it.

I don’t know the rest but I hate the spending of resources to feed the AI datacenters. It’s not normal building a nuclear powerplant to feed ONE data center.

You’ve explained your personal opinion, and while I think it’s a sensible opinion, I was asking about the universal opinion on AI. And I don’t think there is a consensus that it’s bad. Like I don’t even understand how that’s controversial – everywhere you look, people are talking about AI in broadly mixed terms.

Because overall people don’t like it, particularly when it comes to creating “art.”

I am aware of a lot of people who are very gung-ho about AI. I don’t know if anybody has actually tried to make a comprehensive survey about people’s disposition toward AI. I wouldn’t expect Lemmy to be representative.
