The only thing the Luddites want is an echo-chamber to feed their confirmations bias’. They’ll downvote you or completely ignore you if you bring up any positives regarding machine learning.

LLMs and machine learning are still in their infancy, yet they’re doing amazing things. It’s a tool in its early stages, not a boogeyman. Look to the billionaires if you want someone to blame. This tool set is advancing so fast that people in this thread are relying on goal posts that were moved long ago. Look at the guy claiming AI can’t generate images of proper fingers yet this is no longer true and Midjourney continues to make an insane amount of progress in such a short amount of time.

Just look at how many people (50+) upvoted the image claiming AI can’t be used to wash dishes, when a simple Google search would prove them wrong.

Not to mention… AI is helping physicists speed up experiments into supernovae to better understand the universe.

AI is helping doctors to expedite cancer screening rates.

AI is also helping to catch illegal fishing, tackle human trafficking, and track diseases.

Edit The laymen that responded couldn’t even provide a single source for their unsubstantiated beliefs. It’s fortunate that they’re so inept.

Don’t buy Bitcoin. It’s going to crash!

The billionaire owner class continues to treat everyone like shit. They blame AI and the idiots eat it up.

[Publicly traded company] unhappy with how much money [division] burns. Suggests putting the money into stock buybacks.

Wow, this is some hard- hitting journalism that couldn’t possibly write itself!

– Teachers are paid a shitty salary

– Most teachers end up being shitty

Truly a mystery. If only we had some decent teachers so someone could figure this out.

AI is so dumb. I’ve tried it and I can’t get it to do anything. There are no useful applications and it’s very bad!1!

If you’re complaining about climate impact, looking at the big picture isn’t whataboutism. It’s the biggest part of the dataset which is important for anyone who actually cares about the issue.

You’re complaining about a single cow fart, then when someone points out there are thousands of cars with greater emissions - you cry whataboutism. It’s clear you just want to have a knee-jerk reaction without rationally looking at the problem.

This is a strawman argument. AI is a tool. Like any tool, it’s used for negative things and positive things. Focusing on just the negative is disingenuous at best. And focusing on AI’s climate impact while completely ignoring the big picture is asinine (the oil industry knew they were the primary cause of climate change more than 60 years ago).

AI has many positive use-cases yet they are completely ignored by people who lack logic and rationality.

AI is powering robots that can do the dishes.

Wait till they learn about the environmental impacts of the oil industry, or the plastic industry.

Le Pen is Kremlin asset. Fuck her.

During the course of the entire war, the US has spent $175 billion helping Ukraine. This might sound like a lot until you realize that in just a single year, the US’ federal budget is $6.5 trillion. So even if we paid for everything all at once, there’s still $6.32 trillion left this year.

Not to mention most of the money goes back into the American economy. We are spending money on weapons that are largely sitting in warehouses that we would otherwise need to be replaced. Weapons don’t last forever. So for pennies on the dollar we are saving Ukrainian cities from being “liberated” by our cold war enemy that never stopped being our cold war enemy. Sounds like a great investment to me.

“It would be so patriotic to let the Ukrainians get genocided by our long-time enemy bro”

It’s irrelevant that AI is being used. Books being summed up has already existed for many years as Sparknotes. This advent hasn’t stopped people from enjoying great books.

There are lots of good reasons to hate on AI - like the fact that it’s increasingly being used in a military capacity. This just isn’t one of those reasons.

Ableism at its finest.

This could help people learning any language, but people with an irrational hatred would rather have a knee-jerk reaction than think critically. They think this will make people stupid when they’re already so stupid that they can’t see actual use-cases.

Fluff PR piece to get more people talking about Musk’s shitty platform.

Anyone who believes AI is being used for art/writing and not for other things like doing the dishes, has a myopic understanding and a strong confirmation bias. This strawman argument is defeated by a simple Google search to see the multitude of other places where this technology is benefiting humanity.

AI is helping physicists speed up experiments into supernovae to better understand the universe.

AI is helping doctors to expedite cancer screening rates.

Oh, and AI is powering robots that can do the dishes too.

Hiding misandry behind a bear/man comparison - cool use of statistics!

Hiding misogyny behind stats showing older women using fake news - WOW THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

Does anyone actually have the tools to fix capitalism from stealing from the poor and making a few billionaires even richer?

I don’t think I do…

Wait till the author of this article finds out about oil companies.
