Yes. Because one is posted as a joke, and one is an un-ironic “observation.” I’ll let you figure out which is which. Maybe go ask an AI if you have trouble figuring that one out.

So when this gets posted as a post it gets hundreds of upvotes but when I say the same thing as a lemmy comment I get hate?

First of all the title implies this is a joke, secondly posts always get more upvotes than comments, some apps even auto like a post if you click on it to open the comments.
threads, comments, posts and etc all have completely different ecosystems.

The comparison is bunk though.
The awareness of systemic oppression is not equivalent to a technology that produces text and images of dubious provenance.

But conservatives reacting to the word “pronouns” isn’t at all about systemic oppression? It’s about the immediate brain off that follows to instantly rant about “woke” or whatever, even if e.g. someone mentioned pronouns in a grammar context. It’s a stupid reaction born from opposition to a perceived “woke mind virus” (or equivalent).
Similarly, some people read “AI” and immediately think whatever follows is worthless garbage. Which, even ignoring that not everything labeled AI is always ML, is a stupid reaction born from opposition to the LLM (and general genAI) hype.
Sure, the “woke mind virus” is pure delusion, and I, too, want to throw up from the genAI hype every time someone mentions “AI” or “ChatGPT”, but AI isn’t even well defined and even ML has plenty of useful applications.
It’s the same anti-intellectual “I hate the things I associate with this word so anyone not hating on the word is stupid” while disregarding what the word actually means in the given context.

I think you’re assuming people are having a knee jerk, ignorant response, because you have come to a different conclusion than they have.
My dislike of consumer AI is very well informed. I’ve built my own local models and used generative AI extensively for work (no choice). I was actually pretty excited for the technology before the corps started using it as their latest accelerationist cudgel in the class war.
As it stands, I think it’s hard to justify using AI, even as a casual consumer. For many reasons that are already well documented.

It is a knee jerk reaction because it does not look at the context.
You can be talking about AI in a medical protein folding context, and you will still have people call it “slop”.

You are still comparing apples to oranges. Try again.
