I see where you're coming from... When there is no way of doing something without AI I take on a job and pay peanuts for AI. I choose to earn money over not paying for AI. I can totally live without it, it's just work is preferrable than a tantrum.
I don't excuse it. It was born unethically stealing all of the internet. But like I said, it's here, I sure as hell am not going to become amish and make cheese. I like living in the modern world. Maybe some day I'll retire to the woods, but for now I got to live in this world, so I might as well take it in the chin and accept the damn thing.
I totally respect people not using it, it's just I've found people on Lemmy kind of don't respect people using it. I'm not here to change the world, though, I'm happy I opened this discussion.
Most rational comment I've read. I'm going to have fun on Lemmy, I do appreciate you can be very unpopular and it doesn't silence you. Appreciate your comment too :)
No disrespect, but with that attitude you won't be tech-leaning for long. I understand where you're coming from, just the "We are" sounds a bit culty and I really dislike cults.
I hear you man. I agree, if I could disappear it, I would, but I can't and it's here. I think resisting it is just wasting energy. There is definitely a bubble of hype around it. Who knows, I don't.
Then be an activist. Never pay for AI, I don't. Maybe 30 dollars a year for tools I can't do without, but take everything for free. Make the unsustainability fall due to its own weight. That doesn't mean I don't use AI every day for work, spirituality, and learning. Take advantage of what you have available. Group think sucks.
Although I agree with the algorithmic abuses with AI, I didn't expect a group think to be so prevalent, especially in a tech-leaning group. I don't mind being popular, I guess the lack of AI might work to my advantage here.
One can conceive a lot of things, that doesn't mean one knows better thsn destiny... If I could go back to the 70s and live then, I don't know if I would, (I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for advances in science)... This was going to happen. It's actually a very fun time to be alive.
Not an ad, I gave other free alternatives in the post and also gave my own solution to an existing problem. Not hidden, if I wanted to hide I wouldn't have posted from my account. I promise I won't get rich from your $14.50, I take pride in creating OS tools that also help with privacy. Feel free to carry on.
Excellent sir
Sorry
People on Lemmy just fight, man. I guess I tried to save them some spit.
Exactly. That's my line. As soon as it exits the butthole, you can name it.
it was a shadow of a wooden texture, i liked the pic, made it in 3 minutes. Not too much thought, just shitposting.
Danm you caught me, shucks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Arrogance will hinder you more than help you brother.

Completely agree.

Who said that? You're imagining things.
yes, and? I live off AI. I promise, I'm not working for chatgpt to make you use it. Amazing. Warning: Potato guy here.

Good to know, I do too. It has its ugly dangerous extinction of humanity risks for sure, kind of exciting too, but it's here to stay for bad or good.
