MODERATORS
ignoring the hate-brigade, lemmy users are probably a bit more tech savvy on average.
and i think many people who know how "AI" works under the hood are frustrated because, unlike most of it's loud proponents, they have real-world understanding what it actually is.
and they're tired of being told they "don't get it", by people who actually don't get it. but instead they're the ones being drowned out by the hype train.
and the thing fueling the hype train are dishonest greedy people, eager to over-extend the grift at the expense of responsible and well engineered “AI”.
but, and this is the real crux of it, keeping the amazing true potential of “AI” technology in the hands of the rich & powerful. rather than using it to liberate society.
Second this.
Leaving public interests (data and everything around data) to the hands of top 1% is a recipe for disaster.
