Thats because platforms like Lemmy and Reddit utilize the bandwagon effect. The upvote/downvote system is inherently flawed because there is no accountability as to why one votes the way they do.
In this particular case people are just ignorant as to how these new technologies function for example they continue to call them AI when they’re not AI they’re llms… They have no clue how the technology functions or how it should function and simply go by whatever they read on their feed which on lemmy as you know is nothing good.

Legitimately useful applications, like in the medical field, are actually brought up as examples of the “right kind” of use case for this technology.
Over and over again.
It’s kind annoying, because both the haters of commercial LLM in All The Things and defenders of the same will bring up these exact same use cases as examples of good ai use.

May I ask for a link ? Never saw that in the communities I consult. Never. Or at least not above 5 downvotes.

I’ll keep an eye out but I don’t have votes visible, so can only really tell sentiment from comments.
Aside, but I highly recommend hiding vote counts. They’re even more pointless here than they were on redit. They’re meaningless noise on the frontend.
