Comment on Not everything needs to be Art
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 weeks agoIt’s just that I really doubt anything can be really done about the advance of AI. Either it fizzles out or it actually delivers, and if it seems like it will deliver you won’t get people putting that genie back in the bottle. It’s just going to happen because there could be so much potential there, if it delivers.
It’s suspicious because you seems like you have a vested interest in AI or in making AI appear positive.
You seem to be framing AI as good for us normal folks, and that the only people at risk are those who do shitty work. That there is some kind of benefit for people to have and that the risk is so negligible that it’s fine.
You have a weird reading of my comments, no offense. I think you’re so upset at AI that anyone not being as hostile you take as positive and pro-AI. It happens, especially online, I wouldn’t worry about it too much, but it can just make discussion hard.

How am I supposed to read
If not positively, even when qualified by “if it delivers”?
you’re saying that delivering will provide lots of potential. Unless you’re saying that the potential youre talking about is potential harm, in which case I agree but that’s a strange way to phrase it.
Right from the start of this thread you were justifying it saying that it’s fine for it to displace workers because the workers being displaced were not doing work of value. When I laid out why it’s still a bad thing, you switched arguments to “it’s inevitable so there is no point complain”.
Which is a strange take, because it’s totally normal to complain and air grievances about inevitable things that you don’t like. You seem really committed telling people to stop complaining about AI. It’s weird

You yourself said how it could replace all jobs and whatnot. If the tech was a dud then that wouldn’t happen. That’s the potential in it.
I think it’s fine to complain, nobody is stopping you lol. I was just saying that if it delivers on that potential then it’s going to be used no matter what. That’s just how it goes, even if it is upsetting.

That’s bad potential. Replacing workers is bad. It’s not good for society or the real economy. So again, why frame it positively?
Why bother tell people who are complaining that what they’re complaining about is inevitable?
I guess you can complain about the inevitable complaining about an inevitable bad thing. But that’s a weird thing to do, without an ulterior motive.

Potential in tech doesn’t mean the consequences are positive.
Because it’s just part of the discussion…? Friend, you might be taking discussion on Lemmy of all places a bit too seriously.
