Lemmy users will tell you both AI is useless while also saying it’s a threat to multiple industries.
It’s similar in that there’s hype and speculation. What isn’t similar is that the Dot Com era didn’t have as much advancement and use cases as these companies do today.
But Lemmy had some weird Afro turfing early on. A few users really made it there mission to post all the worst yellow biased articles they could find and that became self feeding as other users only saw crazy doom and gloom that it’s coming fer yet yer jobs or assaulting your women.

I said it in too many words, but everything’s magnified. ‘AI’ is an extremely useful tool, yet the current overhype is even more insane. It’s like a caricature of the dotcom bubble, but real.
