My understanding is most of you are anti AI? My only question is…why? It is the coolest invention since the Internet and it is remarkable how close it can resemble actual consciousness. No joke the AI in sci fi movies is worse than what we actually have in many ways!

Don’t get me wrong, I am absolutely anti “AI baked into my operating system and cell phone so that it can monitor me and sell me crap”. If that’s what being Anti AI is…to that I say Amen.

But simply not liking a privacy conscious experience or utilization of AI at all? I’m not getting it?

    Other commenter is right, and it’s exactly why I don’t give much credit to Lemmy’s general opinion on AI. If it’s so bad that even the discussion around it has to be downvoted, then I don’t think they’re arguing in good faith. Personally ChatGPT has helped me immensely with my work. It’s not the world-changer everyone swears it’s going to be, I’m fully out of the hype train - However only a fool would say that it has no value at this point. If engineers are refusing to use it, they’re going to be left behind. The real job loss will be for those who refuse to use it altogether. Solid engineers see it as a new tool in their toolbelt and use it as such.

      Absolutely correct.

      One random example: where I work, CVs are being filtered by an AI before they are opened by a human reducing the volume to a 20% of potentially good candidates. In that 20% there is always someone to hire, so it doesn’t matter if a good candidate is lost in the AI filter. Failing to optimize the CV for AI literally means being left behind.

        This reminds me of something I heard: AI isn’t going to take your job. The person who knows how to use AI is going to take your job.
