"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
After reading other comments I see now how the author's stance was ignorant. But what context should I have added? That I am not the author?
Although I'm not really new to Lemmy in general, making posts is a new one for me but I am willing to learn how to make better posts.
Hmmh. Yeah, I'm writing this from the perspective of someone who likes to talk in the comments. So I generally appreciate to know whether OP wants to discuss a topic, inform people, post the news or whatever. That changes how I react to a post.
Also appreciate some lead text in the body, so I don't need to click on 200 links a day to find out what's behind the url or (clickbaity) title...
But that's usually not how it's done here. A lot of people just post the link and that's it. I guess in your instance it would have been helpful to disclose whether that's your perspective on things... Or whether you want to draw attention to someone's ignorant opinion... I suppose most of the downvotes are because people are confused (as always) and it's a mixture of just reading the title and disliking the content... Though... Similar posts about: OpenAI has this and that weird stance usually get upvotes here. So I suppose if you want to draw attention to someone having weird opinions, you should be getting upvotes as well?! I just think if it's backwards like this (the article fits fuck_ai because they're wrong), you might want to add a few words to make it clear people aren't supposed to sympathize with the text.
Thanks for the constructive feedback! I'll add the context ASAP.
But I don't want to tell people how to think. IMO people should form their own (educated) opinions. I know this community has a heavy bias and I respect that, but can't I just post new opinions so we can have a discussion around that (and maybe even change our opinions based on the outcome of the discussion)?
In my experience not everyone is knowledgeable about everything and an open and respectful (as opposed to hostile) discussion is the way to inform new opinions. Am mistaken in thinking my approach should be tolerated in this community?
Awesome, thanks!
Considering "[...] thinking my approach should be tolerated [...]": I'm pretty sure this (AI) is one of the polarizing topics here. Most people will come with pre-formed opinions, and/or they're quite trigger-happy with the up- and downvote buttons. Informing new opinions is rarely what happens with polarizing topics on the internet ๐.
It's appreciated by some users, though!
