The community is pretty split. I know a lot of people are going to think the accoints are bots. Maybe they are.
But ive met people in real life that truely believe in llm ai solving all thier problems. Its not true bur thats what they believe.
If you point out any valid use case for AI, anti-AI people will come down your throat for sucking off Jensen Huang and promoting genocide.
There is also a difference in argument about what will become of AI. Anti-AI argue it is just a fad like crypto, and will die out. Others saying this is just the beginning and the technology will grow and revolutionize various industries.
So even if you don't like AI and AI datacenters, even acknowledging the fact AI is almost certainly the next massive revolution in technology is enough for people to start going down a rabbit hole.
My research was AI. Using a certain ai algorithm to find cancer tumors. The new ai funding is helping out adjacent projects.
Llms im still kinda iffy about since the tech requires a lot of copyrighted works just to get mediocure results.
AI is a HUGE field. But what people talk about is the llm side of things.
I know a few people though work who are interested in self-hosting LLMs. There are people in real life who are some amount of pro-LLM.
Most people here are somewhere between neutral and very opposed, so I wouldn't say the community is split, but there are certainly a range of perspectives, and I can understand where a large chunk of them are coming from, even beyond those I agree with.
