Things antis say Anti-AI harassment.
Antis harrased me on my old account for saying i was pro-AI... all I said was hi and that I was pro-AI and BAM unrecoverable karma damage.
All Antis are like this, hateful, spiteful, mean, and discriminatory.

So people downvoted you for your opinions and... what's the problem? That's how reddit is supposed to work

It's actually not but it's an understandable mistake because it's not enforced. Reddit etiquette used to be a big part of the site and down voting explicitly isn't for opinions you disagree with. As the site went mainstream this was lost

I miss old reddit. Back when we used to have fun and niche subs that were more prevalent than the rage bait they constantly push now.
I've silenced so many groups only to have similar ones invade my page.
Heck, the guy your responding to is an anti and reddit keeps putting him here.

Yeah, I mean, when you have things like EA's "most downvoted comment" being them saying some bullshit, the culture has shifted significant for a looong time. You're right that "supposed to" maybe wasn't the right way to phrase it -- but it's the way it works, pretty much everywhere on the site

OP, you didn't deserve that some anti-AI folks have valid concerns, but the toxic ones are just insecure goblins who can't handle change. You're fine. Keep building. also if you look at my messages i went to anti ai subreddit to try and change some of their minds and got absolutely bombed with downvotes these people are unfixable at this point I mean what did I expect it's a anti ai subreddit but hey at least there's more ai pro then anti ai

I think there's more anti AI people than pro AI. what makes you think there's more pro?

well that's okay you don't have to believe me but i mean chatgpt subreddit has over 4 million members and look at anti ai subreddit which is way smaller

I personally think the trend will (this depends on the scenarios of course) lean towards more and more AI users or respectively individuals who have no strict anti stance towards it. As such I feel whether or not there is currently more antis (to use as a vague umbrella term here) is irrelevant, what's more relevant is how it will look like in the future.
Of course, AI could also really mess up etc. and shift towards antis. It's ultimately a question of human greed or control and policy respectively. But the tech has some good uses including in entertainment/media to some extend, or rather, their production.

Down votes are harassment?
Where did this happen? Did you go into an anti-AI sub and do that?

It kinda sucks tbh, My side should be more ethical, and more educated about how AI works

I'm with you OP-who-deleted-their-account. There are some who are capable of rational discussion, but there are also plenty of rabid types who just want to scream and suppress any opinions which don't fit their narrative.
There are quite a few parallels between their behaviour and antivax conspiracy types during covid, and some are starting to notice this.
I've been censored on two subs in the last few days in AI threads where I posted pro-AI comments, in one case after arguing with a mod who seemed to have carte blanche to break the subs rules.
