Good lord. Someone on an anti-AI forum indicating a vague understanding of the issue rather than just screeching incoherently?
Never thought I’d see it.

Do you have something to add, or do you just want to take a cheap shot at people who are critical of a thing you like?
Most people here have a better understanding of ai than ai consumers i know. I find this community to be anti ai, as big tech hype/marketing brand, not anti ai as a branch of programming that includes ML and efficient, well-scoped models.

There's that screeching sound again.

There is no reason to add the "anti-AI". Both sides of the argument have people who dont understand he topic and give terrible arguments.
I have seen more misunderstanding and ignoring of arguments on the pro-AI side, but more insulting the other side on the anti-AI side

And it’s doing all this by creating incredible amounts of CO2

One of my fav blogs; https://theluddite.org/?tag=%2Fhome
I came across it during a similar exposé where Luddite!=anti technology as is commonly misunderstood.

It wasn't just the replacement of jobs but also a drop in quality. Same as we see with AI.

Many years ago, I learned the word "Luddite" from a Terminator novel (also where I learned the name "Lenin"!). I can't decide whether I feel this post supports or detracts from their use of it.

The Luddites weren't replaced either though? Factories still needed labour and much of what the Luddites were rallying against was the idea of being pressed into prison-like factory work. Much of how gen AI is being applied is to deskill workers so they can be exploited more in much the same way that machines like the power loom was used to deskill textile workers.
Yeah, but Luddites were working with the current info, not hindsight.
