No, the "hate" is from people trying to raise alarms about the safeguards we need to put in place NOW to protect workers and creators before it's too late, to say nothing of what it will do to the information sphere. We are frustrated by tone deaf responses like this that dismiss it as a passing fad to hate on AI.

OF COURSE it will be transformational. No shit. That's exactly why many people are very justifiably up in arms about it. It's going to change a lot of things, probably everything, irreversibly, and if we don't get ahead of it with regulations and standards, we won't be able to. And the people who will use tools like this to exploit others -- because those people will ALWAYS use new tools to exploit others -- they want that inaction, and love it when they hear people like you saying it's just a kneejerk reaction.

Most of the hate I see comes from people complaining about "muh copyright". Which is why AI is going to become the intellectual property of mega-corporations that own the social media posts and pictures people have posted and we won't be able to use those models freely any more. The "means of generation" will belong to the capitalists. And that will be that for humanity.

And to think this can be stopped by moronic posts like OP is laughable.

At what point in history did we ever halt the deployment of a new technology to protect workers?

[-] bamfic@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

Never. That's the problem with history. Happy Labor Day.

Or just the problem with technology in general. Every gain is bought with a tradeoff.

Once a man has changed the relationship between himself and his environment, he cannot return to the blissful ignorance he left. Motion, of necessity, involves a change in perspective.

Maybe learn what you're talking about and stop panicking. Attack the right things not the this new technology

[-] howrar@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Very fair, which is why we should be critical of those who make the opposite claim and use that as justification for their hatred of AI.
