The Lemmy userbase seems to have this echo chamber effect where anything to do with AI is categorically bad, doesn’t matter what it is or how it performs.
Also mentioning AI gets your comment downvoted, further increasing the echo chamber effect.
I guess. It’s not like downvotes mean anything here beyond… dopamine hits, I suppose?
I don’t know that it’s Lemmy. Both supporters and detractors don’t seem to have a consistent thing they mean when they say “AI”. I don’t think many of them mean the same thing or agree with each other. I don’t think many understand how some of the things they’re railing about are put together or how they work.
I think the echo chamber element comes in when people who may realize they don’t mean the same thing don’t want to bring it up because they broadly align ideologically (AI yay or AI boo, again, it happens both ways), and so the issue gets perpetuated.
Aaaand we’ve now described all of social media, if not all of human discourse. Cool.

Yeah, to people things are black and white and all or nothing. Even suggesting there might be nuance to things elicits a defensive knee jerk reaction.
