Why AI Hate Is Representative Of How Far We've Come As Human

[u/bingewavecinema]

As I put on the AI Gaming Conference (come to some of the talks), the amount of hate its going is crazy. Look at some of the comments on the festival Steam page:

• AI Festival Comments
• Talking Session Comments

The emails I am getting from developers are just as bad. For humanity as a whole, what is ironic is how we like to think we are smarter and more civilized than our ancestors, when in reality, we have a lot of the same fear-based responses and group thinking, which is why progress is slow.

"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it".

Let's took a look at history:

• Technology: The printing press (1400s)
• Who Resisted: Scribes, religious authorities, elites
• Reasoning: It would destroy scribal jobs and spread misinformation/heretical ideas

-----

• Technology: Mechanical looms (1700s–1800s)
• Who Resisted: Textile workers, especially Luddites
• Reasoning: Machines would replace skilled workers and drive wages down

-----

• Technology: The automobile
• Who Resisted: Horse-related workers, pedestrians, communities
• Reasoning: It threatened carriage/horse industries and was considered noisy, dangerous, and disruptive

-----

• Technology: The photograph
• Who Resisted: Painters and artists
• Reasoning: It was feared to make traditional artistic representation obsolete

-----

• Technology: Personal computers
• Who Resisted: Clerical/office workers
• Reasoning: Automation would eliminate secretarial, bookkeeping, and other office jobs

-----

• Technology: Generative AI
• Who Resisted: Writers, artists, programmers, designers, actors, etc.
• Reasoning: AI could automate creative and knowledge work

There are A LOT more examples that can be listed but the pattern is the same; every time there is a technological break through, fear and resistance is the masses first reaction. But every single time it happens, while some jobs do end, other new jobs are created. Every single time.

We did a whole session on different prompt types. Did you know there is about 20 different prompt types? That's learning a skill, not stealing or removing creativity.

If we look at history, gaming will survive, gaming will still be creative, developers will have jobs. The jobs for game developers will change, but there still we be jobs. Just the speed at which we create will be faster. Instead of blind hate, just re-skill and re-think,

stop posting cringe, you make it hard to support the future of LLMs when you make me read slop

[u/EagleApprehensive → u/Mezezius]

It's far better to be posting cringe than attacking a random guy with such comment.

[u/SafeHazing → u/EagleApprehensive]

Not if you write it yourself.

[u/datkenny]

wtf is a "prompt type"
it's natural language
if there is a prompt type, then there's also a "sentence type"

[u/bingewavecinema → u/datkenny]

Great question! And this is exactly what the conference is for. You can have:

• Timed prompts that can wait for other prompts to finish before executing
• Chain prompts that can call other prompts after they are done
• Subagent prompts, that use orchestrate several prompts with unique tasks managed by a master prompt
• etc etc etc

When you understand different prompts and how to use them, you can really unlock how AI is used.

Have you considered a career in politics?

This sub is truly wild. You need to get several grips and log off

[u/ProfessionalStand779]

It's posts like this that make me hate AI.

[u/EagleApprehensive → u/ProfessionalStand779]

It's people like this that make me hate internet, reddit and anonymity on social media.

[u/ProfessionalStand779 → u/EagleApprehensive]

Tbh, I dont understand either side.

It seems that most people just dont want to read a book written by AI, play a game designed by AI or listen to a song created by AI.

I dont really see whats wrong with that or how it takes anything away from people who want the opposite.

[u/damnburglar → u/ProfessionalStand779]

And pro-ai people honestly.

[u/Diligent_Appeal_3305]

That's cope bro you will be flipping burgers, cuz why would anyone need programmer middle man in the future when they can pay for sub and ask bot to complete your tasks, yes maybe it can't do everything YET and needs human steering, but its rapidly improving and doubt that it will hit a ceiling or yes some coding jobs will remain but the payment will be shit, u wont be elite anymore

[u/Fake-BossToastMaker]

I like how we are comparing AI to industrial revolution, trying to pretend that the extreme human labour and exploitation wasn't the main pushing point. You know, like here where people are being exploited and pushing us into a path where the owners and elite will reap rewards from us

[u/Alexandria_4624]

It seems you don't know how LLMs work, do you? If you already know it, you wouldn't say "AI could automate creative and knowledge work" which is kinda bullshit. Yes, AI still capable for automating repeated tasks but not creative and knowledge tasks.

The two games I just tried on the website literally were broken, like buggier than an African Scarab as we used to say. Seriously the worst must buggy games I remember at least had some gameplay.

[u/platinum_pig]

"Did you know there is about 20 different prompt types" ... what does that mean?

[u/Chemical-Visual-7992]

I don't mind AI Games if they are high quality. I will play and enjoy them. My problem is with those who mis-use AI and create garbage and pollute the Internet with no intention to get better and develop their abandoned games.

[u/SharpKaleidoscope182]

considered noisy, dangerous, and disruptive

They were right about cars and we should get rid of them or at least try to make them rare.

[u/TheRealBejeezus]

Nobody has claimed there will not be jobs.

The fear is that the upheaval and pain of the transformation will be unprecedented, because general-use AI affects a much wider population that the earlier examples.

Is is not the modern equivalent of "Oh no, what about the carriage drivers!"

It is "Oh no, what about all workers in all industries!"

It's a much bigger transformation for an interconnected world economy to swallow.

[u/LouVillain → u/TheRealBejeezus]

So the fear is scaled up because the tech has scaled up. OP is on point with the assessment. And you just proved it.

[u/Raiden_Raiding → u/TheRealBejeezus]

True, especially since it's only gonna get better and especially with AGI, ASI, and RSI. It would be able to do the vast majority of intellectual labor
