It’s more so that they aren’t being truly genuine in their expression of the message. If someone was hitting children but advocated for children’s safety you wouldn’t trust them to be making such arguments in good faith.
I’ve been wondering that for a minute. At least on reddit it’s a community inundated with the most cringe, I’m-14-and-mom-says-I’m-smart takes out there. But tbf, people on the far side of pro are fucking annoying too. Maybe people are just fucking annoying
Wouldn't surprise me. Same with the people lately calling the entirety of COE33 "AI slop" for one texture, insulting the other 99.999% of the work the actual humans did on the game.
The meme is BS anyways. The character on the right isn't sporting a massive hog so this isn't truly representative of the AI community. They always have massive hogs.
Ive had this exact conversation with them tho. Alot more nuanced but its almost always "you're just a mad luddite at the future" or someshit from them...
Yes, the anti-AI engagement posters literally think it’s just ChatGPT and Sora and that average Joe consumers are the backbone of the demand needed to sustain the industry.
Which is why they all make the same shallow doom-posts and trot out old tired conspiracies like, “you’ll own nothing and like it.”
Owning nothing is more to do with the ongoing consumer protection and right to repair aspects. Not AI.
If a company can terminate a license to something you bought and paid for for lifetime access, it isn't lifetime access. You also just aren't buying anything now, just temporary licenses
The conspiracy is that a single throw away line at a dumb marketing event for investors is being taken as some global cabal grand master plan that’s rolled out to every industry.
It's a great tool, issues come from how the corpos introduce it, cramming these half baked overhyped tools everywhere without the proper considerations and expecting it to do the work of people so they can rise their profit margins at the cost of people.
Ai is a tool like any other, you can compare to the industrial revolution machines, corpo greed did the same and people hated machines, tho they vastly improved the world after a switch in perspective. Ai now is those early stages, slow action from governments, folk and internal company people will eventually find a solution after everyone races for the newest shiny tech, even tho as I said, it's half baked and overhyped, and also seen as a tool to replace human workers, something that could happen later, absolutely not now, they are assistants that need supervision.
I use it to pool references between governing bodies to inform policy and procedure, and am going through an iterate process for app design using the same strengths: library knowledge, code base and capability knowledge, common code and libraries.
I mean, you're seriously saying that on this sub? I thought everyone hated AI in this sub, because of, you know, stuff like ram prices going up, or Microsoft trying to hoard more of our data, and other stuff like that
How about the fact that Nvidia and Palantir are partnering up and the idea of unchecked, indiscriminate murder drones powered by facial recognition is not just possible but probably likely?
That seems like a pretty good reason to be concerned and if that's too sci-fi for you, how about
the advent of Dead Internet and misinformation campaigns?
As far as I'm concerned, anybody who isn't concerned about the repercussions of AI and the VERY small number of hands controlling it with absolutely no oversight is either ignorant, fucking stupid, or just lying because they stand to profit.
Or do you have to worry about a completely fucked up US society allowing unchecked developments of AI and fully willing to weaponize it for their own needs?
The way I see it the AI opponents fight the symptoms, not the root cause.
Is this sub gonna be the next AntiAI sub or something?
Legit question, these posts are getting tired already I miss the posts with people breaking their side panels when placing them on ceramic floors...
Tangentially related but if we're standing on soapboxes. We do have legitimate uses for AI at work but it's so annoying that our AI lead will just post something like "wow look at this use case!!" and now it's the experts job to say "well actually". Its giving us more work having to tamper down his hype
Sony-Ericsson said smartphones would never replace their phones because they have poor call quality and that's why people buy phones, to talk to other people. Smartphones can only do a poor job of typing and email compared to a desktop, so it was doomed to fail.
I think the solution in this case is to combine. Its hard to get high speed over 50 meters with wifi, but for the rest 99.9% usage its much better then cables (imagine having 50 cables connected to each device)
Both sides are so rabid. It's impossible to have a decent discussion. Some people nearly almost outright attack you. If you just wanted to question the AI stuff.
I guarantee they already exist. They might be a bit... Primitive compared to what you're expecting but there is 1,000% already prototypes in the works 🤣

I LOVE AI image generation.. But I absolutely hate it when people use it to act cool... This would be OP. I don't use my generations to hatepost to other people.
Grok was wholly dissapointing, and she (the anime avatar) couldn't even tell me her measurements (in resolution and frames pers second / refresh rate).
AI can be and is a solid tool, but too many take everything is provides as fact when it is far too often wrong and makes things up. It is a good reference, something that can be useful when used in conjunction with other sources.
The biggest problem is people far too often let it do the thinking for them.
I say this as someone whose company has trained LLMs for use for job-specific functions.
It would be pretty bad. Luckily we do very low-level LLMs with very limited scope for that reason. We do not believe AI is anywhere near ready for anything serious at this point.
The way I look at it, you wouldn't trust a colleague who is proven to hallucinate a large percentage of the time to handle anything important. Yet some will let AI handle critical and/or personal things.
Ma maan, so what do you think about people who argue that AI is perfectly ready and that AGI is almost here? That's the kind of people I'm clowning on with this meme :D
Like Photoshop, like a calculator, like any other tool.
Any output of AI isnt necessarily bad. It becomes bad, if people dont know how to use AI and act like they produced something great. Just like with tools.
AI used by experts who know what they are doing can be a great way to streamline existing workflows. AI used by idiots to replace experts is bullshit.
Short anecdote: We had the exact same discussion with photoshop and digital drawings 20 years ago. Back then any other idiot with a pc would start to „edit“ images, which looked like shit. We saw edited selfies with the weirdest skin retouching and recolored eyes. It looked like hell. Soon enough people lost interest and Photoshop became a tool used by people who know what they are doing. I bet it’s the same with AI.
Current AI is overrated. Future AI is going to blow your socks off. Those things can both be true simultaneously, and have been true of many other past technologies when they were first getting started.
What the fuck did you just fucking prompt about me, you little trad artist? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in my simulated university, and I've been involved in numerous reddit raids on Artist Hate, and I have over 300 confirmed shit posts.
I am trained in prompt engineering and I'm the top AI artist in the entire reddit community. You are nothing to me but just another Anti. I will rebut your claims with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this sub, mark my fucking words.
You think you can get away with saying that shit to me on reddit? Think again, luddite. As we speak I am chatting with my network of LLMs across the internet and your livelihood is being replaced right now so you better prepare for the revolution, trad artist. The revolution that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your job.
I can post anywhere, anytime, and I can generate content in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with the free version of ChatGPT. Not only am I extensively trained in prompting, but I have access to stable diffusion running locally and I will use it to its full extent to generate content your miserable ass could never make by "picking up a pencil". If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clanker" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have just blocked my account. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're being replaced, you goddamn luddite. I will generate content all day and you will drown in it. You're fucking obsolete, artist.
Why are there so many AI bros in this sub? 🤢Do they know it's just a tool and nothing that's going to shake up the world? Besides making everything more expensive and putting people out of work, that is.
But its already shaking up the world. If your exposure to AI is copilot or chatgpt, then it probably seems like a mildly useful tool. When you are on the bleeding edge, you realize the potential scale of the impact.
In the past 3-6 mo we've seen a explosion in the use of synthetic data. Models are being used to improve models. The leap between, say, claude opus 4.1 (august 2025) and opus 4.5 (November 2025), was more impressive than the jump from sonnet 3.5 (June 24) to 4 (may 25).
2025 demonstrated that agents can add real value in fully agentic ecosystems. 2026 we will see humans slowly start to exit the loop as trust builds and some of the rough edges are filed down.
The work being done in alignment, graceful failure, grounding, etc is progressing rapidly.
Im not saying that all this is rainbows and unicorns, shit is about to get real very quickly. By 2027, for better or for worse, things will be wild.
Even video and image gen isn't entirely useless, but once again, it's a tool, bets handled by experts who know how to do without. The coca cola ad was based on AI and it sucked. but there is a lot of good AI in media. It's sudle and used for enhancement. It blends the VFX with the picture. It helps in compositing or upscales in a way old algorithms can't. But most AI fans think you can jut AI everything. That's the people I'm poking fun at.
Well... yes and no. Most Ai is FP16 encoded. A 16 bit quantum computer could do in one sweep what take our current computers 10^16 to 10^17 operations. But we're at 16 Qbits now. But once we get there, all those data centers will be obelete ober night.
All the progress in video generation actually empowers the same tools you use for real work. But instead of generating from scratch, the tools build upon the footage you already have. So all these generators are the ugly side product of the good stuff we get.
The problem is that many people take those shiny generators and run with it, turning out slop and thinking they can replace the artists, who can use the stuff sparingly for greatness. :/
As for the other uses, text generation can be good too. It can error correct you, write summaries, analyze texts... But people think it can replace workers. Not really the case.
It is overrated right now, until it isn't. That's why big companies make huge expenses to develop and train AI. Unfortunately, it's not a bubble everyone expects to pop soon, it's not even inflated enough.
Both extremes are cringe and bad. The anti ai people get a mental breakdown when you even mention ai in any way that is not outright condeming it. They act like ai is the antichrist Himself.
ai is good for reseaching/developing cures for cancer for example and so on. not so usefull as a chatbot or anything the avarage person uses it for.
the misuse of ai does more bad to the people than good. like nvidia stepping away from producing computer parts for the avarage person and instead slapping them with a subscription to be able to play with a 4080 and wanting to develope ai for the military.. to kill people. nice!
or literally any big corpo using ai.
I definitely hate most of the ways people use generative AI but not the technology itself. It's an interesting tool. That same argument has existed for pretty much any type of technological innovation.
Wouldn't call it the future, at some point it will reach a limit as generative AI can only do so much. I also don't want a future where things are coded, drawn, sculpted, written, animated by it.
In certain situations AI can be really helpful. But the fact that people are beginning to use it daily as some kind of necessity in their life is just stupid, so many people are becoming stupid because of ai, like making it do schoolwork for them. A better use would be to research stuff with it, ask it for help, make it explain something for you to understand something better instead of just making it do everything for you. The amount of lazy people using ai to cheat on tests or do homework for them is crazy and unacceptable.
Don't lump me in to those people coz non of the ai chatbots can't even have a single percent of what Neuro sama is for the sole reason she's some how gives out more emotions to the people she collab with whether it be rage bait sas or wholesomness than other chat bots and she can play OSU
Man, it's crazy how many people suddenly became pro AI and look down on people against it with such vitriol and derision after everything with Larian and Sandfall happened.
AI will change a lot, it will take away lower skilled jobs, exactly the same way as the steam engine and electricity, computers and the telegraph did. But you can’t replace high skilled jobs with it. AI makes some things possible: try to use a robot arm with 15min ping: impossible, but a local cnn can be trained on movements you prerecord and then you add another cnn to detect objects in images, you throw this on a stream from a camera and let those 2 cnn work together to move your robot arm
Other usecase is accessibility; if i create a game, i maybe don’t have the resources to pay an artist for my assets, so during pre release i use ai generated assets and once i can pay an artist, i get proper assets.
Live subtitles is sth that is really hard, expensive and stressful for everyone involved to create, but for proper accessibility it’s required… in the past (10y ago) ai was trained on a specific person and this person had to respeak every spoken word and also correct mistakes, now we have much better AIs able to very accurately detect speech, so it’s only an observing and correcting that doesn’t burn out people all the time.
It’s important to label ai generated content, if you use it. Also the chatbots are no where near accurate enough for what companies use them for. They can do boilerplate and test data and looking sth up in a documentation…
Also licenses are an issue. If you train a model on gpl data, your model has to be gpl. From answers i got from chatgpt, i assume that they violated gplv2 from the linux kernel. By the copyleft, openai has to release chatgpt under gplv2 or higher. But proving it is almost impossible, as the training is basically a oneway hash…
Anyone who hates on AI like it just kicked his dog just hasn't studied enough about it.
Unfortunately, the same goes for almost all AI defenders which makes all of us look like the guy on the right.
To be fair... the matrix IS great. The alternative is eating amoeba mush for the rest of your life on a DEAD earth. Living underground like mole people.
