Lemmy can never not take the bait on Windows or AI.

Even in some usecases I find AI to be whatever people go nuts over any use of AI. Like I hate the pushy AI thing but I also dislike people who hate on AI every time even in valid usecases

Alright, don’t take this diatribe personally, but it just set off a chain of thoughts for me I’m gonna post now because loudly hating on AI at all times is the morally correct thing. You don’t seem like a person looking to be convinced.
In a capitalist society our only real power is as consumers. I know even that’s not really terribly true these days as they largely dictate the markets at us but it’s all we’ve got. An overwhelmingly negative public sentiment does still erode value and makes it harder to support the illusion, we’ve seen that recently with the DLSS5 stuff. It also fortifies community opinion by creating a unifying front. It can slowly shame susceptible targets into changing their stance and help convince people who may be falling for it when they see they’re friends and respected individuals take a firm stance. Anyone who says armchair warriors can’t accomplish anything just wants you to shut up so you don’t accomplish anything. Ideally you do more, but what other options do we have against this currently?
I understand how AI works and what its legitimate intended use cases are (largely referring to the current crop of LLMs here and not broader ML) and that’s exactly why I don’t use it. People who say that they have figured it out and that their specific use cases are legitimate are practically indistinguishable from those who have drunk the Kool aid. Are you one of those rare people I don’t even fully believe exist who has a valid use case or are you another mark who’s fallen prey to the lying machine that lies, was built off plagiarism, destroys the environment, and was purpose built to devalue labor? One of these things seems slightly more likely than the other.
Fuck AI.

I yse AI every day as a tool. But I hate it is forced down my throat every where. And I hate it is destroying our planet.

Hates that usage of something is destroying the planet, continues to use it daily.
Er.

I hate the fact that ai has blown out of proportion, and datacenters are scaling on a crazy speed and level, when it’s mostly to juat gather our personal data instead of having some responsibility of its development and we as humans gets together and creates a plan for it as a tool to benefit from on many levels rather than a private weapons race. It’s like the atomic bomb race through the cold war. Meaningless use of ressources, other than dick measurement. It’s out of control. This is what I don’t support, and I only use Mistral LeChat for ethical reasons. I think this is a fair point. In my work area I will be jobless quickly if I refuse to use ai, just saying.
