I know Lemmy is very anti-AI

No, Lemmy isn't very anti-AI, just very sane.

AI is a tool. If it does the job better than other tools that's totally okay. It has so much potential to improve lives.

If on the other hand it's about artificial general intelligence soon™ hallucinations, "we can totally replace all skilled workers"-fairy tales and other "stop using your brains and eat the slob"-bullshit it just needs to die... alongside the ~~company CEOs~~ snake oil buyers who (not so secretly anymore) dream about getting rid of all those pesky workers they have to pay proper wages.

And sadly 99% of the narratives we are constantly fed (and yes, that includes such "See Linus now supports AI! AI's winning!!" bullshit stories, when it would be the perfect starting point to actually evaluate AI properly just once...) belong to the second category. Because AI companies in their insanity painted themselves into a corner. Their investments are insane, their market models unsustainable and telling the lie that everyone needs to use their AI and get integrated everywhere-even if it makes zero sense- is basically their only way to salvage something from that shitshow.
