MODERATORS
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
You want other opinions on Lemmy but don't want to start a debate? That is a truly stupid position.
If you want to explore the nuances of pro/anti ai, go for it. I'm here with you. The person above made a point that the genie is out of the bottle. Maybe we could discuss focusing on making ai ethical rather that trying to catch smoke with our hands. Let's talk about that. But bringing up a vague concept because you want diverse opinions but refusing to engage? That is seriously dumb.
You know it’s ok for everyone to dislike a thing if the thing is legitimately terrible, right? Like dissent for dissent’s sake is not objectively desirable.
It is not though
AI in the context of late-stage capitalism and the beginnings of global ecological collapse is terrible for everyone except for the people who own it.
I'm not really pro or anti. I use it with appropriate skepticism for certain types of things. I can see how it is extremely problematic in various ways. I would prefer it didn't exist but it does provide utility and it's not going away. I find a lot of the anti crowd to often be kind of silly and childish in a similar way as the extremists in the pro crowd, you can tell they really want to believe what they believe and critical thinking doesn't seem to come into it much.
