Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate

SunshineJogger@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

It’s actually a useful tool… If almost everything it was used for were not so very dystopian.

But it’s not just AI. All services, systems, etc… So many are just money grabs, hate, opinion making or general manipulation that I have many thing I hate more about “modern” society than how LLMs ate used.

I like the lemmy mindset far more than reddit and only on the AI topi people here are brainlessly focused on the tool instead of the people using the tool.

  I hardly remember Facebook… Isn’t that these days a retirement platform?

    A platform for people in developing countries, however. In some cases it supplants most if not all of the functions of what used to be several programs used for Internet access and communication. Never wonder why ultra-conservatism is infectious in some of those countries.

    That… Doesn’t sound good.
    
    Facebook is not exactly a trustworthy thing and to have developing countries dependent on it the way you describe sounds dystopian. :/

    Oh, I was genuinely curious — this very same argument can be used when talking about guns. This very same argument is used when talking about guns.
    
    This wasn’t an attempt at a strawman, I’m merely drawing parallels. To say that this one topic is one where Lemmy focuses on the tool and not the people using them is false.

    The better comparison I’ve seen is knives. Knives have multiple purposes, yet they can also be used quite dangerously. Guns on the other hand only really have one purpose. Since AI can at least be used for other more useful stuff (think protein folding), I would say they are closer to knives.

  That the death data tells clearly they should have laws like many EU countries have on gun ownership.

    Those are not multi purpose tools. Guns are for killing.
    
    Nah, they are multi purpose tools:
