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…
I am convinced that this is the real reason for the major push for AI data centres in the US. The corporate media is desperate to retake control of the narrative. They want to be able to convincingly fake photos and video in support of their propaganda goals.
