Well Google is making less money, so I am sure it's not no one.
But I share your experience. My apartment complex (180 units) is very close knit, we are all similar income so it's not a very diverse group. But, amongst us, most people don't even realize they are using AI, they just see it as an update of the already existing Google Search which was also a mystery to them. People that do recognize it as a new thing have ChatGPT on their phone and love the thing.
There's a slight chance that these companies aren't losing money because of lack of adoption, but because of how expensive it is to train and keep these things operating.
Really funny how you got downvotes for suggesting people could like it. Even though you preface that it's a sad fact.
Yeah its OK. I probably interact with more people IRL than other lemmings. And its bad out there. Normie's in general loooove their slop bots. It stems from a lot of humans being idiots in general but also verrrrry tech illiterate.
I'm not a basement dweller because I can't afford one.
Yyessss
Ironically I do like my basement. But i also have a life outside
Fuck you my Lemmy room is in the attic.
I am not sure they are idiots. We do the same as them on other domain that got industrialised sooner in history. Most of us buy clothes pre-made by industries we know being evil. We know the pollution is huge, we know it involve child labour, we know the clothes are of poor quality and soon to be out of fashion anyway. But it is cheaper and more convenient than to buy our clothes hand made at some tailor.
We also do the same for fournitures, and some of us even buy industrial food.
Why would they prefer human made things just for IT domain? And if we reject machine made things in IT, why do we accept it in other domains?
more convenient? definitely. cheaper? y'all making me grateful for my tailor.
I think I’ve only encountered clearly anti AI people twice IRL. What I found kinda ironic is how they both parroted the same anti AI talking points I’ve already seen online multiple times.
Well yeah, I'd imagine anti ai folk are largely technical because we actually know what's going on, and are probably more likely to be on something like the fediverse. Normies just go oh, google has sure gotten shitty and then they keep using it.
