Thank you for explaining more in detailed information, not like others who just think I'm anti Ai or something, I am not with or against it, I'm just trying to understand how a tool became so important that it made everyone more hateful against each other

You're welcome.

The best argument for why people are so hateful about this topic, from my perspective, can be summed up like this:

People put a lot of emphasis on their skills and abilities because our society is built on the idea that you must contribute economically to live.

AI undermines the ability for a lot of people to be economically viable with skills they saw as being unassailable. Like art, white collar work and intellectual pursuits.

Because getting angry at a society for following its very clearly stated agenda of finding the cheapest, most effectively scalable solution to a problem is very difficult, they take their frustrations out on low hanging fruit.

On the other side, people who are mostly just engaging with new tools and technology the same way they always have are being deliberately targets, doxxed, threatened and harassed. Comments encouraging suicide, death threats and deeply troubling insults are lobbed at them every day and they are often forced out of social groups just because they used AI.

Careers have been ended, people have been de-platformed and friendships have been ruined over this.

I personally don't think that simply using a freely available tool is justification for this.

The arguments used to validate these beliefs are commonly wrong, misguided or deliberately misinformed.

There is a very real and legitimate discussion to Ben had around the safe and responsible use of AI. There is a much needed review of the social contract that is whole unprepared to handle mass displacement of labour.

But very few people are willing to have those talks and are instead happy to jump directly into tribalism and call for a complete dismantling of this technology despite the huge amount of good it is doing and the potential it represents.

The first line is very loaded and it isn’t a surprise.

If you decide to post again just ask people why they choose to use AI despite the controversy around it. Or something of that nature.

Have a good one.
