No clue why this article is being downvoted to hell. Is this not relevant to c/technology? 🤷🏻
Worked at Lowe's last year. No AI is going to replace what any of us were doing except maybe making the scheduling lady's life easier, but we would still need her.
People still need to buy household goods, need advice from experts, need help and labor in 1,000 ways that AI cannot replace.
Until we have relatively inexpensive, multipurpose robots, much of this talk is moot. Humans are the AR-15s of the animal kingdom. Not the best at anything, weak in many ways, but we're reliable, tough and suited for many roles. I cannot imagine an AI powered robot that could work all the tasks I was faced with.
The title has the word “AI” in it - the hivemind is practically trained to reflexively downvote and leave a mean comment anytime those two letters show up.
Fucking ridiculous around here. Seen 20-yo images, "Is this AI slop?!" It's the cool kid thing to do now I guess.
"I'm so smart! I hate AI and can spot it anywhere!"
The Express is not a reliable source for information. It's a shitty right-wing rag that just makes shit up.
Most anti AI posts/comments get downvoted.
Probably because the bulk of people on here work in some shitty IT job that can easily be replaced by AI?
Or they think people who are anti AI are Luddites?
Who knows
Are we on the same website? Lemmy as a rule hates AI with a blind passion and will downvote anything that isnt frothing at the mouth hatred of it. Hence the downvotes on this post, people see it has AI in the title and isnt calling it slop or saying its cooking the planet and so it gets downvoted.
Uh, aren't you two agreeing?
If we are, then I entirely misinterpreted them.
On re-reading it seems like thats quite possible! The first and second line seem to agree with me but the third is taking the opposite postion though so who knows.
I added the who knows so other people could chime in with their own opinions, I see you point though.
Usually who knows is added after two opposing suggestions
The article presents a couple of different perspectives: Gates’ comments and Hinton’s counterpoints at the end. Maybe the downvotes are assuming it’s only promoting Gates’ perspective because they didn’t read it?
