I can't speak for the community, however in 2022 when ChatGPT was in development, lots of us were excited about it. When ChatGPT came out, and the image AIs came out, I tried them and was pretty impressed at first. However as I learned more about them and time went on, I learned to not like them, and avoid them. This is what happened:
- I realized that ChatGPT would make subtle mistakes that were impossible to catch if you didn't have expert knowledge
- I wasted a lot of time using AI trying to get it to give me right answers
- People at work used ChatGPT to make subtle mistakes which negatively affected me
- I learned about how writers and artists were having their work stolen and put into these large models without their consent
- I learned about the environmental costs
- Computer hardware started getting stupidly expensive :(
- I learned how using AI can make you rely on it, and you lose critical thinking skills.
- I have seen people in the real world defer to "AI" as an authority on a subject.
- I learned how many of the AI tech bros sincerely believe their own hype and think that Advanced General Intelligence is going to develop out of the same tech as llm and pose a threat to humanity and/or save humanity
- Companies have started using AI to make customer service worse
- Small businesses turned to AI to make awful flyers and menues which make my experience in the world worse
- Bosses use AI as a way to fire people and or control the workforce better
- The surveillance state is using AI to destroy privacy
So that's why i don't like it and try not to use it any more.
