Why do people seem to generally hate AI?

People inappropriately using AI go generate comments in places like HN, or to create blog posts (to get ad revenue). If I want to get ChatGPT's opinion on something, we all know where to go to get it. Please don't waste our time. Plus, people making all sorts of excuses why they should be allowed to use LLMs to post crap. I don't want to read meta-posts about how you need to use an LLM because you are an autistic quadriplegic homeless soul who doesn't speak English and Claude is your only way of communicating with the world.

Many reasons, and it depends on who you’re talking to.

I use LLMs for coding, as well as a few other minor things.

I do not like the corporate AI garbage slop being forced on an unwilling population.

I do not like the widespread anthropomorphism of AI.

I do not like the idea of fucking everything up with slop and hoping future models will clean up our messes.

I do not like hypercapitalists buying up land, water, electricity rights, while shitting on everyone else and the planet.

It is a complex and diverse topic. It is also very new to most people. Of course there is diversity of opinions.

People are afraid, large technological changes generally prelude large economic and social changes, some of which is going to be terrible.

I don't.

Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur

There’s a lot one could try and point to.

Do you really have no idea? Do you not find valid some disdain for such technology?

Why do you believe that?

Why do you ask?
