[serious] Why is Lemmy community generaly against AI?

[dragnucs@lemmy.ml]

I noticed almost everybody here agrees that all AI is bad, and anything produced by AI is slop. and refuse to use any software made in part or in whole with AI or help of AI?
Please mention your background and usage of AI with your answer.

Why do we need to justify our options? It is OK to not like a technology that is killing the world? A technology where we have movies of it taking over the world and murdering the human race. A technology that has yet to turn a profit despite trillions of dollars funnelled into it.

Please mention your background and usage of AI with your answer.

No, why don't you justify your want for destroying the planet and species.

With respect, when people argue like this, my brain automatically interprets everything they stand for and believe in as wrong.

Correct way to argue:

"Here is a self-serving reason WHY IT BENEFITS !!YOU!! to do/not do the thing I am asking you to do or not do. It BENEFITS YOU to take my advice."

Incorrect way to argue:

"I am literally Jesus Christ. I am the arbiter of all morality, and I am God in living flesh. If you do the bad thing, you're going straight to Hell. You're harming the environment and also killing babies by doing the bad thing."

Global warming has been around for a lot longer than AI. Now we're having a conversation about Global Warming instead of AI. This can go on forever. A better argument is "AI makes YOU dumb over time, because YOU grow to rely on it," or "AI is a liability FOR YOU because when you create something with it, you don't know if the end product was made with stolen data."

I think it is more considerate to talk to people this way, because it shows that you care about the person you're trying to convince, and you want what's best for them.
