I mean, yeah, most people here dislike/hate AI for diversity of reasons, most commonly for:

  • Taking up PC components that don’t even exist
  • Taking up green land
  • Pollute nearby areas with audible noise
  • Pirate and suck in all the human knowledge just to sell it back to you
  • Effectively DDoS-ing hundreds of thousands of websites and forcing them to implement captcha-like screening
  • Frying (even more) new generation’s attention spans and melt their ability to think by themselves
  • Ruining human interaction on the internet and filling it up with shit content
  • Corporates forcing AI on everything for the sake of having it
  • Threatening to take people’s jobs

And tbf, most of those issues come from brain-rot executives and corporates.

It’s okay if you like it and you find it helpful, it’s a tool after all. Like any other tool, on the right hands might boost productivity and help with repetitive tasks.

The main problem is that most people will think that you support any of the above downsides by liking it.

I’m a bit curious, would you share your pro AI counterpoints?
