I haven't talked to a lot of people about AI, but I'm extremely skeptical, and my wife, who isn't usually dialed into this sort of thing, fucking hates it. I'm not sure how that plays out across the general populace, but I'm inclined to think it's pretty unpopular.
Bots are trying to gaslight to into thinking that slop acceptance is inevitable. It's just bullshit. Everyone hates slop art. Everyone hates slop music. Everyone hates slop text. Everyone hates forced slop integration.
The only people that like AI are the people that own the chatbots that want to deskill you.
People rarely arrive at these views independently - it's always influenced by the people and environment around them. Kind of like how cigarette smokers tend to know lots of other smokers, while people who don't smoke hang out with other non-smokers.
I'm not claiming nobody hates AI or that there's no valid reasons to oppose it. All I'm saying is that the impression of how widespread that hate is - the one platforms like Lemmy give - isn't exactly representative of the real world.
Hate is an extreme emotion. Those kinds of emotions are rarely motivated by reason alone, so it often looks more like an ideological stance than a purely rational one. People caught up in strong emotions aren't exactly known for thinking clearly. There's a well-known quote about facts not caring about people's feelings, but I think it's the other way around: feelings don't care about facts.
