Most of the people in my life do not like AI and are open about it and we sometimes talk about it and how we don’t like it. It’s not an all the time thing obviously but I know where most of my friends stand on the subject and we have had conversations about it

I think people are still too unaware. As businesses push to use it, people are afraid to speak up about not using it bc "everyone is using it"and they don’t want to be left out.
Most still don’t understand its environmental impact either. If you’re a muscle car guy, you probably don’t understand ballet, or if you’re an artsy person you likely won’t understand most sports and why people are so into them. It’s not that people are dumb, is just not their area of interest outside of (likely) misinformation about how good it is. So because they’re repeatedly told “it’s good and helpful” they just assume that’s how it is, without any real info of behind the scenes.
On most forums or like-minded sites like Lemmy, Reddit, or other similar platforms, it’s way more obvious as is constantly brought up and talked about.

AI didn’t steal jobs or creative work of most normal IRL people, so same as with what happened to artist years ago, they had to navigate the crisis without them, the same is happening to programmers now, people IRL are not exposed on a personal level to as much of the dark side of AI business, only environmental and educational arguments land with them, and they’re not as effective when it gives them access to seemingly free art, info and computer skills they never had
This is how i understood them personally, they don’t see it as their war, just as a war, hopefully with free subsidized system going away they’ll take a harder stance like the rest of us

Probably 1/5 at the most of the people i know actually like llm chatbots and related. Another 2/5 are neutral and the rest loath them for one reason or another. The majority of them are being forced to use it at work for things it sucks at and hate at least that part. Anyway, one theory I have for you is that people in your life that dislike it might just not talk to about it. I actually straight up lost a friend because he for upset that I kept challenging him when he talked about it. The rest I know that like it are not as persistently and enthusiastic about it, but when they do, I just not and smile until it’s over, because I am simply out of energy to deal with it. These people have the same energy as the religious zealots out on the street telling people they’re going to hell and it is exhausting.

I mean in my real life Im not ga ga about it. My wife really liked it at first and I was like well it has its limitations. She started seeing them. All the same it has uses but its hard to say if its uses outweigh its cost.

because online, stupid people with bad opinions cant shoot/stab/assault you when they cant handle legitimate criticism and facts.

So, different mentalities express themselves in different places. For my workplace, talk about AI as an innovation happens more often. In my day-to-day, all the talk is concern about a new datacenter going up in our community. In the internet, people seem largely against AI. I find it to be a symptom of certain environments leveraging a different thought process.
I think it’s pretty fair to say, the internet overall cares deeply for expression and humanity, to which AI has fed off of to train, and now regurgitates in inhuman speech. This affects us all, and makes the overall internet experience worse. Oppositionally, AI has allowed businesses to streamline workflows. No more fluffing up an email with bullshit to “sound professional,” just have an AI do it for you and save the time. And as for local datacenters, no shame if you don’t know what they do to communities, but I don’t think you’d believe a Lemmy comment if it’s your first time hearing of it.

In my experience, IRL conversations are generally more nuanced. I rarely encounter people who are adamant about one stance or another in any kind of absolute terms. But online, you’ll often find people on the extremes, saying that anything AI is good/bad no matter what and getting mad at anyone that doesn’t share the same opinion. And those extremes are often the loudest voices.

Half my internet (vehicle enthusiasts) hates EVs because they’re part of the liberal agenda. Half my internet (political progressives) hates Tesla because it represents the fascist agenda. And then the other 99% of my country’s citizens don’t give enough shits about the topics to post online about it. My liberal area is full of brand new Teslas.
You’re seeing people complain. You’re not acknowledging all the other internet traffic you’re seeing talking about anything besides Ai. And here, there’s a higher anti-ai sentiment than other parts of the internet. Consider that a huge part of it has to do with the bullshit marketing terminology applied to chatbots and other pre-existing machine-learning suites that suddenly have a fresh coat of conversationalism that presents itself as authoritative.

Well, you’re a bot I guess. No one I know loves it. Or uses it for much beyond playing around and trying to get it to be stupid. One friend said she used it for apologizing to people, but stopped when that backfired

at a local middle school one of the students threw a container of cream cheese at the math teacher after she used an AI generated image in her lesson. from what we heard the students were mocking her incessantly for that. this is definitely a phenomenon in the real world, at least where we live.
still, demographics vary!!! this is certainly an interesting topic, so feel free to go more in depth into your own experiences :)
