Media criticism tends to fly out the window the moment the narrative aligns with someone’s personal views. Echo chambers can be hard to recognize once you’re inside one. If I didn’t come to Lemmy, I’d barely even know that there are people who’ve made hating AI their whole identity - they seem to be nowhere to be found in the real world.
Right most people I meet day to day are maybe a bit interested but don't care much.
To me this is a chicken vs egg situation. I think a lot of people see this as the media responding to people.
I think it's the other way around and I'm trying to understand why. To me, it looks certain that the media is agenda setting with AI. I watched this with the war on terror, anti immigration views, Ebola, imaginary waves of crime that never existed. I can see the headlines, the tone, the framing are all so similar. I just don't understand why. It's a powerful tool, my default opinion is always that this technology does balance some power in society and so by keeping it as a tool of the rich while the rest reject it is important culturally.
