Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox
yyprum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days agoHere in Lemmy, in my experience, this goes nowhere. You put it very clearly on your second paragraph. The small crowd with a strong opinion that thinks all AI is terrible in Lemmy is a bigger or at least more active group than the opposite. And with no ability to consider opposite points of view.
As a developer, most others I know of actually like the ai technology and use it as a way to analyze big amount of data quickly or as a starting point, while at the same time basically all hate the corporate AI side of things, specially idiotic managers and ceo-like asshats that keep pushing AI for all the wrong reasons and in all the wrong ways.

Fortunately the one saving grace of the Fediverse is that you can see both the upvote and downvote totals for a comment, not just the net difference between them. So even though it's clear what the majority view is - "AI bad, everyone hates it, and you're bad for suggesting it could possibly be otherwise!" - I can still see that there are a minority who appreciate my perspective as well. So I continue rolling that boulder up the hill, for the benefit of those who might otherwise only see the "nobody wants AI!" messaging and think it might be true.

Yeah, lemmy is really a hell of an echo chamber on certain topics. I see both pros and cons to AI, and that balanced view makes me literally the most anti-AI person in my social circle.
