Comment on Why do people hate AI so much?

  Think of how shitty and scam filled the early internet was. Did we abandon it because of how shitty it was at first,

  It wasn’t though… That was mid to late term internet

  This clearly shows that you are willing to talk out of your ass. The early Internet was filled with some of the smartest people alive, the mass of shitty content did not arrive yet because it wasn’t accessible to the masses. At the beginning, the Internet was literally only scientists. A little later, it was only very open people not scared to try something new and excited about the future and about foreign cultures, with corresponding amazing content.

  Only after this initial period, when the internet became commonly used, did it turn shit. Stop trying to manifacture arguments for your position and truly do what you acted like setting out to do, understand other people’s concerns.

    You’re acting like we are at the “beginning” of AI, when the early days of AI happened around the same time as the Internet started.

    In any case, your argument is less of an argument against AI and more or an argument against mass adoption and co-optation of technology by corporations. See enshittification.

      The early days of “AI” were a full generation before the beginning of the internet, as it was formalized as an academic field back in the 50’s while ARPANET didn’t start admitting non-Defense users until the 80’s.

      I didn’t even make any argument for or against AI, just an argument regarding your behavior.

        Is your second paragraph not specifically a response to my argument about AI? The fixation on my argument style is really getting old, and highlights how weak the arguments of the vigorously anti-ai camp are, that they need to change the subject to tone policing, rather than actually debating on the merits. I’m done with that, but feel free to keep trying to change the subject.

  We did exactly the opposite of what you say, we monitized the scams and turned to entire internet into an scam-ad infested wasteland of the greed of 10 people at the cost of driving the rest of humanity to mindless addictions, grooming, and manipulating human psyche to eek out more money and mass-propagandize.

  The majority of the internet is 10x worse than it was 10 or 20 years ago.

  Think of how shitty and scam filled the early internet was. Did we abandon it because of how shitty it was at first, or did we develop it and tweak it to it’s full potential?

  I have been on the internet since 1992, and the internet today is by far the shittiest and most scam infested it has ever been in my time (and I doubt it was worse in the 80s)

  Few things make me more depressed than thinking about the evolution of the internet, from where it started to where it is today.

  I don’t doubt AI will follow a similar path, except somehow it is already starting in a much worse place than the internet ever did, and the downside potential is far greater and frightening.

    Oh, ok. That really makes me think AI is the villain and the fediverse is the bastion of morality and civility. /s.
