  Hi. Haven’t read the article. Straight middle aged white guy here. I too also view AI negatively.

  If trans, nonbinary, or disabled people view AI negatively, it’s not because they’re trans, nonbinary or disabled. It’s because AI is terrible, and threatens (and already is proving to) make all of our lives terrible for the sole sake of giving billionaires a few extra pennies.

  Though I will say, if trans, nonbinary and disabled people have any extra issues with AI making their life specifically worse, that’s not caused by AI itself. It’s caused by the wealthy CHOOSING to use AI to make their lives worse.

  This doesn’t need to happen. None of this needs to happen. Google doesn’t need entire campuses dedicated to AI with special power requirements. This is all bullshit.

    The survey discovered that people in those groups are more likely to view AI negatively than those in other groups.

    People in these groups may have different or additional reasons for viewing AI negatively that are not common to other groups. It’s a question for further research why they tend to view AI more negatively. It might very well be because they’re trans, nonbinary or disabled - perhaps for conscious reasons or perhaps because of other factors. The survey shows that there are more questions to be asked and that it would be worth paying attention to the experiences of these groups.

  Maybe only those are worthy to survive this technology addiction disease.

  I’m none of those however I believe they are right to view it negatively. The rest of us should be just a wary.

  Yes, generative AI is a normative neurotypical triangulation machine. Why would this be thought of favorably?

    I think it’s because the average person doesn’t understand about five words in your first sentence. They can understand marketing bull that they’re fed, though.

  TIL, I am transgender, non binary and disabled. That is why I hate AI slop.

    You are committing a logical fallacy called “affirming the consequent”.

  “Some groups like bullshit less than others” says survey. “This is why bullshit is bad.” says author. “Here’s my post-hoc reasoning for why I got these results.”
