My point was that saying that “everyone hates this” and “nobody wants this” (what the shirt in the post says) is flatly untrue. Whether ChatGPT has a billion daily active users or 500 million weekly active users or whatever is just trivia that doesn’t really change the gist of what I’m saying. Lots and lots and lots of people really like AI tools and use them every single day. Ignoring that fact and pretending like everyone agrees with you is dumb.
I just want to give props to you. I totally get your point but even through the negativity you stayed polite and tried to get your point across. Thank you for making the fediverse a better place.
Most people would take the statement as hyperbole. Also, the claim wasn’t against all AI use. It’s the shoving it everywhere that they say people hate. Even among those I know who use and like AI, they say it’s being shoved into things pretty arbitrarily and needlessly. Having it available to use is one thing. Ramming it down our throats is another.
I don’t think it’s “regardless” at all.

Sam, please get off of the feddiverse, we don’t want AI here.
Ah yes, the other can’t-miss trick, “everyone who isn’t 100% on board with or mildly questions the hate train is a shill.”
Asking for less delusional anti-AI arguments isn’t AI boosting.

Hey, thanks for saying so – I appreciate it.
This is the fediverse, you can’t really expect people here to check their hate.
Yes how dare you challenge our opinions!

True. Many of my colleagues are highly addicted clankers and I don’t think any of them like Copilot in Notepad, for example.
