    But they didn’t say anything pro-AI. At most they were anti-anti-AI mob, which is just reasonable, as is with any “mob”. And I read mob here as mindless parrots that keep repeating talking points and hating for the sake of conformity.

      Being anti-anti something is being pro-something. That’s the beauty of the double negative.

      Also that’s just a very pro-AI user, so the intent can be inferred

        I’m anti anything mob. The fucking groupthink on certain issues is real.

        I’m also anti people who make shit up and then try to sell it as a long strings of “inferences.”

        And after having AI shoved down my throat at work for two years while my teammates get laid off, I’m pretty anti AI too. At most I have direct experience with it that teaches me it has some uses, like summarization.

        You’re full of shit. You’ve been told. And you know it by now. But you’ll probably bleat on with more of the same because it’s all you know how to do. Proceed, I guess.

            Brave showing, bravo. I’m glad someone came out of the woodwork to illustrate the monomaniacal mob behavior I was talking about. You did just perfect.

              Hmm I don’t remember mobbing anyone. All I did was reiterate what the man himself said, in the face of you trying to spin it as more pro than it was.

              When the guy says his AI use was causing him problems and he regrets it and wants to make a change, I believe him. Simple as.

        You’re conflating two different somethings. Anti-AI mob is not the same as AI. Being against mob mentality doesn’t make you inherently pro AI.

        It’s possible to be pro or anti mob mentality and AI in various different combinations.

        That’s… Not how any of that works?! You can be anti chat bot llm, anti anti ai mob hater, and pro llm science and research bot.

        There’s more to the tech then just the chat bots the anti ai mob dipshits all seem to think of when llms come up.

          That’s exactly how that works lmao. “Anti” means “opposite”, not some neutral third thing

            anti-anti-AI ≠ pro-AI, it assumes there’s only anti-AI and pro-AI and nothing in between.
            And the wording was clearly about the anti-AI mob as opposed to people who understand the dangers and benefits of AI. It’s similar to the difference between a Gamer™ and a gamer.

      You’re on Lemmy… any statements about AI, Musk, trump, McConnell, etc that aren’t over-the-top against them will be met with downvotes.

        Okay but why would anyone be anything but over-the-top against anything on your list?

        I mean, like, everything you listed is dog shit.

          Because sometimes in life there are nuances and it is possible to mention one of those topics in a neutral manner, but the absolute hostility held here against anyone who tries to have a conversation beyond “_____ sucks ass!” is exhausting.

            This is not one of those times. I don’t want to have a conversation with someone who thinks neutrally about any of those topics.
