A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Here's my response to their points:
Personally, I can see some use for AI in very specific cases, and it still needs to be babied and the result double checked. But yeah, AI being mostly controlled by big corporations is a major part of the AI problem.
The first point i s a fact not an opinion. Example. I am an anarchist, and that makes you what? It makes you nothing. You are you and who or what I decide to be shouldn't and generally doesn't directly impact that. Now let's say you had a bad experience with an anarchist. And as a result you have chosen to be anti anarchist. That is a reaction, and by definition reactionary. That's all it really means. Nothing nefarious Etc.
Point two. I absolutely see it from a leftist point of view. But yes that's not going to hold true for everyone even if I wish it did.
With point three. And most of the rest. I think they were trying to express their understanding and seek clarification on your part much as I have. What IS anti AI. Is it purely reactionary and without thought. Or is it more considered, focused on the dangers posed by authoritarians and fascists empowered by those tools. I'm leaning towards thinking its generally the latter. However it seems one or both of you might be talking passed the other. I doubt you disagree as much as you think you might.
Your argument is that having an opinion on something is by definition reactionary? That makes no sense.
You're reading the entire discussion wrong. My entire point is that they are actually calling people who show literally any dislike in AI a "right wing neoliberal", and that is just flat-out wrong.
I'm not talking past anyone. I was trying to discuss that point in particular and no one wanted to explain the logic behind it. (Which makes sense considering it's an insane take in the first place.)
There is no universe where I would even come close to agreeing with that completely mental attitude.
