Illusion — Why do we keep believing that AI will solve the climate crisis (which it is facilitating), get rid of poverty (on which it is heavily relying), and unleash the full potential of human creativity (which it is undermining)?

    You explained it fine. And I agree it’s a great use case. I’ve heard so many like this. It’s a potentially a great interface to a lot of things and I think that’s why there’s a big push to make people shit on it. Seems like Lemmy is a foothold for hating on AI. I don’t think the problem is your explanation its just cyclical people looking to hate on something. Just look at daily posts here about AI. They’re all similar to headlines I see in places like r/Canada towards immigrants

    They’re taking our jobs They’re assaulting our women Think of the children Our culture is gone

    Every headline is some variation of that followed by toxic takes towards the subject.

    Really disappointing to see really cool new tech with loss of potential get shit on by a place like Lemmy where I thought people were more open to advancements in tech.
