    Had a lot to unpack there huh?

    1. I never said anything about AI being good or bad. Your comment is misdirected.

    2. The criticism is of everybody joining the anti-AI circlejerk like they’re actually doing something to help. It’s like Lemmy is just a big anti-AI support group. Instead you can promote groups that are driving legislation to control AI, groups that are helping people affected by AI, develop and share data to support your sentiments towards AI.

    I get it. Wanting to belong to a community is one of the most human traits there is and the anti-AI circlejerk is at its essence a protest against digital conformity and for conserving what it means to be human.

    It’s also sad to see how desperate people are to belong to something that they’ll just regurgitate the same thoughtless messages over and over with no real progress holding on to every last bit of connection until it inevitably fades away and everybody is left feeling like they fought the good fight when really they just jerked each other off until they bled into the abyss and life kept moving on without them.

    Just my 2¢. 🤪

      I like the term community pilled instead of anti AI. Simply placing meaningful human interaction over soulless machine interaction.

        That’s great except the anti-AI community is actually not very inviting. But it is human to be flawed.

          I would hereby like to issue a formal invitation to the pro-human community!

          With the emphasis lying on breaking free from the fake and inauthentic interactions of digital life. You can still have a digital life and even use a some AI, but the human spirit should not be smothered in the way that it is now.

          (partial sarcasm) Join today rediscover your humanity!

          Edit: Preaching to the choir here I imagine

            Thanks! I use AI every day and I talk to people every day. I think there are a lot of great uses for AI, and a lot of bad ones, and am excited for what the future of AI has in store, but by no means am I saying that everybody should be using it. I would love to hear what the community thinks!
