i was under the impression that were explicitly against genAI but i found that some people are actually VERY pro genai and quite dismissive of its risks. this happened on lemmy but i saw people getting downvoted for saying that genAI in its current state is harmful to the environment. i saw the old bullshit of how ”i use AI for art because i cant draw”, it was crazy. i called someone a Promptitute and someone unironically told me not to say that, just so much. so can everybody pls affirm you dont support that crap.
another user straight up admitted that they use AI as a friend and to gn to… i dont care how much we have in common ideologically, i cant support you gning to chatgpt and thinking its your friend…
They specifically said “as applied to chatbots” so it seems to me like theyre talking about the broader field of machine learning as a whole, which is great as smaller models used in specialized applications and isn’t limited to LLMs, i.e. their mention of cancer research, vs literally anything that has ever been posted on the internet and can be spoken of using human language being used to amalgamate bullshit for any user that seeks it.
