“Normies” are idiots. They’re the same people denying the efficacy of vaccines or the veracity of the moon landing. What they do should NOT be used to validate the correctness of something.
Comment on Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’

Ah yes hand waive away everything you don’t like as idiots who deny vaccines and the moon landing.
I am talking about normal normies, not fringe conspiracy normies.

Tech bros, for some reason always trying to use group pressure as a legitimate argument.

That’s literally what the comment above it was doing too though. It’s a very common anti-AI argument to appeal to social proof.

I’m not even advocating, I’m just trying to inform you people who are clearly in a bubble thinking everyone hates AI, they don’t and that became crystal clear at my recent family gatherings as the one tech guy.

Since we’re sharing anecdotes, everyone at my recent family gathering was staunchly against AI and I’m the only tech person in it.
Being anti AI doesn’t mean you’re in some isolated bubble.

I think Lemmy in particular has a bad problem of assumed group think, it makes sense since most of us left prior platforms for freedom and decentralization reasons, stuff like boycotting major companies, switching to Linux, etc all of that is much less prevalent then some very vocal people on Lemmy think.
I’m glad you had a different experience, but I see AI use increasing all around me by otherwise nontechy people, whereas I get on Lemmy and you know what the majority of the opinion is here.

This is still “you’re the minority, better follow the herd, just saying”.

No, it’s “you all seem to think everyone else also hates AI, but they don’t” it was directly in response to the comment “no one wants AI slop.”
