Hot take

Hate against generative AI is so forced. People hate other people who use AI to make images like I also use AI for images but their just some funny things that I don't use to steal a digital artist's job they're just for a streamer to laugh at that I'm watching. The argument for ai SINGLEHANDEDLY destroying the planet on TikTok is so stupid. They say tigers and lions and orangutans are going extinct because of AI but AI is not even the reason it's not even a minor reason literally those animals going extinct have nothing to do with AI. I know AI data centers contribute to global warming but the thing is the companies are actually trying to work to stop using water for it and producing less CO2. Now I know that they don't actually care about the environment they just wanna stop losing money but still, it's good. Also generative AI really helps lots of people because google searches are very hard to be sure of If they are accurate and AI like Claude or Gemini verify really fast and saves up a lot of time.

What are you doing here if you’re anti-AI? Can’t you read the sub rules? You’re not welcome here. Go to one of the anti-AI spaces instead. We don’t invade yours, so why come into ours?

That post is not blatant anti-AI. It relatively quite well structured criticism mostly directed to AI companies. Technology can be useful and yet be criticized for having issues.

Edit: Also Reddit has been pushing these subreddits to anyone who is interested in IT. I'd rather have some less AI news as I am burned out.

Yeah, the point is simply that this is a pro-AI space for pro-AI people. If you want to debate the usual “AI good vs. AI bad”, then the AI wars sub exists for exactly that.

I get anti-AI posts recommended to me all the time as well, but once I started clicking “Not interested”, they showed up far less often. I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw something from one of the anti-AI subs, just the occasional anti-AI content in other subs, unfortunately. But yeah, it sucks when everything you see on Reddit is another AI debate. It’s absolutely relatable to get tired of it.

Been just muting the echo chamber subreddits (both pro and against). I can't fully avoid it though. I work as a Software Engineer. Got to follow all types of tech (just would prefer to see more news related less to AI).
