    This is the first comment section i’ve seen on lemmy with a reasonable discussion about AI use that wasnt instantly downvoted into oblivion for being pro-AI

    Usually this place is full of the “EVERYTHING IS SLOP” crowd without any nuance as to how it is being actually used to do small tasks well under the supervision of a qualified person.

      This comment thread reads 100% like AI astroturfing. AI is not an amplifier, there’s literally no evidence from any study that’s been done that backs that. That’s just AI company marketing.

        “AI IS AMAZING AND INEVITABLE!!!” = astroturfing

        “AI sucks at X, but sometimes useful at Y… use with caution.” = astroturfing

        “AI SUCKS AT LITERALLY EVERY TASK!!! ITS ALL SLOP!!! SLOP SLOP SLOPPITTY SLOP!!!” = only organic discussion and reasonable take…

        Look, there are 100s of valid reasons why AI sucks and is unethical… in fact, it’s pretty much 100% built on unethical methods, no doubt…

        But “AI sucks at everything and literally has zero good use cases” is not a real argument, but it seems to be the most popular opinion around here.

        I disagree with 90% of the pro-AI stuff out there, i’m just pointing out that its rare to hear a reasonable discussin on the topic here that isnt just 100% hate
