My understanding is most of you are anti AI? My only question is....why? It is the coolest invention since the Internet and it is remarkable how close it can resemble actual consciousness. No joke the AI in sci fi movies is worse than what we actually have in many ways!

Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely anti "AI baked into my operating system and cell phone so that it can monitor me and sell me crap". If that's what being Anti AI is.....to that I say Amen.

But simply not liking a privacy conscious experience or utilization of AI at all? I'm not getting it?

While I get why people have an anti-AI-sentiment, I don't get at all why people downvote this thread. If someone is asking a legitimate question in an open and polite way, why downvote the question?

Personally, while I wouldn't downvote, I think the reason was probably

It is the coolest invention since the Internet and it is remarkable how close it can resemble actual consciousness. No joke the AI in sci fi movies is worse than what we actually have in many ways!

Which is pretty hard to take seriously, even if I get what they mean in the first part (for the second one though, must've seen pretty bad sci-fi), to the point people could see it as bait.

Also, it's just such a popular topic that it's not an interesting question here, even if it's a topic worth explaining now and then. An AI itself could explain why people hate AI.

It's just wild. Goes to show how strongly people feel about AI. maybe !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world could be a safe space for a question like this. Wasn't expecting aklemmy to be so hostile though. I mean, I knew there are lots of people who hate AI with a burning passion, but this is a bit much.
