Social media isn’t real life. As with many other things, it’s the loud minority online who make it seem like they’re the majority. People who like AI don’t feel the need to declare it online. Neither do the ones with a neutral view on it, but the haters must let everyone else know that they’re on the right side of history and better than everyone else who disagrees with them.

These are usually the kind of people who, when you ask what they’re passionate about, just start listing things they don’t like. Most of Lemmy is like that. There’s very little talk about what people are into, but no shortage of grandstanding on what people oppose.
