sigh people do talk about this, they complain about it non-stop. These same people probably aren’t using it as intended, or are deliberately trying to farm a “gotcha” response. AI is a very neat tool which can do a lot of things well, but it’s important to recognize its limitations. I don’t use it for things I don’t understand because I won’t recognize if it’s spitting out nonsense, but for topics I do understand it’s hard to overstate how efficient and time saving it is.
My take is they should be fighting the corporate API vs open source models war, instead of just “screw all AI” which really means “screw open source AI and let Sam Altman enshittify everything”
Especially on Lemmy.
It’d be like blanket railing against social media and ultimately getting the Fediverse banned, while Facebook and X walk away.
I sometimes use it to “convert” preexisting bulletpoints or informal notes into a professional sounding business email. I already know all the information so proofreading the final product doesn’t take a lot of time.
I think a lot of people who shit on AI forget that some people struggle with putting their thoughts into words. Especially if they aren’t writing in their native language.

The FuckAI people are valid for their concerns.
Unfortunately, their anger seems to constantly be misdirected at the weirdest things, instead of root issues.

Oh, there is plenty of hate for the hype cycle in general which is about as close to the root of the issue as you can get.
“Give me a vegan recipe using <ingredient>” has been flawless. The recipes are decent, although they tend to use the same spices over and over.

Efficiency depends on the cost doesnt it?
The cost to me, the user, is nothing
Sorry to hear that you consider your time worthless. Have you tried therapy for that?
There’s something so uniquely funny about being too stupid to insult someone properly. Thanks for the chuckle
