Every PC gamer / hardware tech review forum is full of anti-AI hatred. People want to buy a new GPU, add RAM, a new SSD, or hard drive. All of these have doubled or quadrupled in price in just a few months. Then there are reddit threads every day where I think 30% of the original posts and comments are AI generated spam. If I see a post with emdashes or anything that ends by asking for "thoughts?" I just down vote an…

#42I want to use AI to do my job. I want to use AI to do your job. I don't want someone else to use AI to do my job. I don't want to spend my attention on AI content that takes more time to consume than create.
> I want to use AI to do your job. > I don't want someone else to use AI to do my job. This is just hypocrisy quite honestly.

#45Any discussion about AI/LLM’s/etc is incredibly complicated. I could go on and on elaborating on this, but I’m just going to leave my preface at that. There is one thing I found to be true over and over again no matter what the anchor point is for the conversation, no matter the context, no matter someone’s sentiment, etc: nobody likes to have their time wasted. LLM’s are incredibly useful for cutting corners. It mak…
There was always content that wastes people's time because people have always confused length and complexity with comprehensiveness and depth. These were always poor proxy metrics for "good content," but in a lot of environments, especially professional ones, they were how work was evaluated. Naturally others used LLM to generate content that satisfies these metrics. The slop epidemic is a consequence of what people…

#47The public was much more likely to say AI would harm them than benefit them. There are so many things called "AI" these days, that studies like this are basically meaningless. I think (hope) most people's views can't be reduced to a single binary question.
Big companies are diving straight into the mustache-twirling benefits "for the business" and of course people will push back.

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
There's also a difference between using AI as a tool for creation, and as an oracle for truth.
You can't regress to the mean and call it creation. LLMs don't make novel content. This is why all the people using AI-summarizers to understand their boss's AI-expanded micromanaging emails aren't getting anything new done. Anti-compression is going to accelerate climate change.

Everyone wants to use AI to create work and no one wants to consume or be downstream of AI created work.
Re: The Uncanny Valley and the Rising Power of Anti-AI Sentiment
#50Both things can be true. AI can help you in the near term and harm you in the long term. I think the more people use AI the more their view shifts from the former to the latter.
I've been thinking the opposite. It sucks to be in the generation of workers that are displaced by AI. It's going to be great to be in the generation where work just isn't something that humans are expected to do.
