Original Reddit post

As we know, people hate AI. A large amount have a very strong bias of anti-AI. But at this point its ridiculous. No hate to the people, but the thought of AI seems to almost burn them. For example, I’ve seen people say “AI is not a tool,” out of there hate of it. …Like what? Its objectively a tool, is a machine that is used as a tool. Whether its used appropriately as a tool is a whole different story. People also deny its good uses, for example if you want to know how to get into hobbies, or if you want to ask simple questions without digging through the web. Its great at that, its what it should be for. It can help you understand processes or how to do something like getting into engineering. Yet through motivated reasoning people deny it over the mistruth “AI = bad.” I’ve seen people also claim AI music is not music… even though it fits directly in the definitely of what music is. And even some going as far as to state there subjective opinions, objectively. Another thing people say to make themselves appear better (or they just believe it) is that they’ll exclusive say they hate gen AI. But gen AI isn’t bad either, its just used poorly by others (e.g. creating meaningless videos/images and posting it in hopes to make money off it). Gen AI is good for the exact reasons I listed earlier. People even start hating on videos using TTS thinking its AI. Its been around for 70 years! Its literally designed for the disabled and/or people who want to remain anonymous on the internet. The hate of AI is spreading to things beyond AI because people assume. Anyways there’s my rant. AI is both good and bad, but must of whats bad about it is from the misuse. Anyone else have any other thoughts to add? submitted by /u/Otherwise_Task7876
