Do you actually hate A.I? If so, why? (lemmy.ml)

I have realized a lot of posts on here mostly criticizing the data collection of people to train A.I, but I don't think A.I upon itself is bad, because A.I- like software development- has many ways of implementations: Software can either control the user, or the user can control the software, and also like software development, some software might be for negative purposes while others may be for better purposes, so saying "Fuck Software" just because of software that controls the user feels pretty unfair, and I know A.I might be used for replacing jobs, but that has happened many times before, and it is mostly a positive move forward like with the internet. Now, I'm not trying to start a big ass debate on how A.I = Good, because as mentioned before, I believe that A.I is as good as its uses are. All I want to know from this post is why you hate A.I as a general topic. I'm currently writing a research paper on this topic, so I would like some opinion.

I do not hate AI, because it doesn't exist. I'm not delusional.

I do resent the bullshit generators that the tech giants are promoting as AI to individual and institutional users, and the ways they have been trained without consent on regular folks' status updates, as well as the works of authors, academics, programmers, poets, and artists.

I resent the amount of work, energy, environmental damage, and yes, promotional effort that has gone into creating an artificial desire for a product that a) nobody asked for, and b) still doesn't do what it is claimed to do.

And I resent that both institutions and individuals are blindly embracing a technology that at every step from its creation to its implementations denigrate the human work — creative, scholarly, administrative and social — that it intends to supplant.

But Artificial Intelligence? No such thing. I'll form an opinion if I ever see it.

While I haven't thought about that before, now that I have, I totally agree. Ty fir sharing your pov :)

While I completely agree with most of this, it’s my understanding that we have is a type of AI, as is AGI. LLMs are classified as Narrow AI.

What he means is that he doesn't hate A.I because it simply doesn't exist. There is no intelligence in any of the so called "A.I" since all it's doing is a combination of stolen training data + randomness

[–] TheFunkyMonk@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Yeah, I can understand the sentiment. I was just clarifying that true intelligence (AGI) is a subset of what we refer to as AI, alongside other subsets such as Narrow AI/LLMs. I agree it's odd usage of the term, but I can't find a source otherwise.
