You’re asking Lemmy about AI is like asking /the_donald about antifa. They have no idea it’s just years of circle jerking about this topic disconnecting the community from reality. Your answers here will be vastly different then normal spaces
I said it in too many words, but everything’s magnified. ‘AI’ is an extremely useful tool, yet the current overhype is even more insane, and has muddied everything. It’s like a caricature of the dotcom bubble, but real.
Lemmy users will tell you both AI is useless while also saying it’s a threat to multiple industries.
It’s similar in that there’s hype and speculation. What isn’t similar is that the Dot Com era didn’t have as much advancement and use cases as these companies do today.
But Lemmy had some weird Afro turfing early on. A few users really made it there mission to post all the worst yellow biased articles they could find and that became self feeding as other users only saw crazy doom and gloom that it’s coming fer yet yer jobs or assaulting your women.

There are ML hobbyist/tinkerers here. I’ve seen it on zip, db0, itjust.works.
But it all gets downvoted, and I think those folks (me included) tend to keep their heads down on “AI” topics.
You don’t see a lot of true AI bros here, but they honestly don’t know squat and wouldn’t give a good answer either.
so, what’s the truth?
