We have a lot of suboptimal aspects of our society like animal farming , war, religion etc. and yet this is what breaks this person's brain? It's a bit weird.

I'm genuinely sympathetic to this feeling but AI fears are so overblown and seems to be purely American internet hysteria. We'll absolutely manage this technology especially now that it appears that LLMs are fundamentally limited and will never achieve any form of AGI and even agentic workflow is years away from now.

Some people are really overreacting and everyone's just enabling them.

I try use it to pitch ideas for writing (no prose because fuck almighty) to help fill in ideas or aspects I did not think about. But it just keeps coming up with shit I don't use and so I just use it for validation and encouragement.

I got a pretty good layout for a new season of Magic School Bus where Friz loses her mind and decides to be the history teacher.

I gotta be honest, I'm neither pro nor anti AI myself. I don't use it as much as I used to these days, but when I do use it, it can be pretty fun and helpful. And I can't help but admire the AI images and videos, even if it is AI slop. (Maybe I'm an idiot for being very easily impressed/entertained by almost anything.)

Yes I know there's a bunch of problems with it (including environmental), but at the same time, I don't feel like I'm contributing to those problems, since I'm just one person, and there's so many other people using it anyway.

I'll take my downvotes and say I'm pro-AI

we need some other opinions on lemmy

Well, you can support anything, for example even the Nazis who shot Jewish children.

The only thing that awaits you is the consequences, the rest is not important, it is your choice.

Also pro-child-slavery. Women should be locked in boxes all day. Billionaires get to pee in everyone's food at the table.

These are the counterpoints that make a robust debate!

don't want to start a debate. Nobody will change opinion, I would rather not waste time on this
