Not to mention that every tech company is cramming AI up our asses with no way to opt out. It’s a plagiarism machine that’s burning down the planet and making Nvidia rich.
AI is a collection of techniques to build solutions to problems without explicitly defining the problem and shape of solution
There’s a massive, open, collaborative world of open source AI, not just training code but datasets and trained model weights
The fact that large, evil companies are pouring money into the technology (and have the best models) should manifest as 1 anti-capitalism and 2 evidence that the technology is legit
The rhetoric on Lemmy, on the other hand, comes across as uninformed and Luddite
This piece, and 99% other AI-related news, is about large evil compaby though. People are rarely mad at the concept of machine learning (like the one being used in molecule folding or star categorization. those are rad). They are mad at how it’s being used.
My point is that AI technology is just a tool. You could replace the anti-AI rhetoric with anti-big-company rhetoric without mentioning AI at all and it makes more sense and is more true.
There is nothing wrong with big companies using tools in itself, even if using tools costs money. That is what makes the rhetoric luddite.
The consistent anti-ai rhetoric on Lemmy is weird
AI is proprietary black box software developed by the most hated big tech firms fueled by surveillance and data theft.
The fact that its disliked in fediverse is very logical.

Dear Mr Anus, it’s not anti-AI, it’s anti-bullshit and anti-shyster.
yeah, this looks Iike the kind of post an anus would make
