On a personal level, I like AI. I use it regularly as a tool to handle mundane tasks. I also have friends who use it successfully as an artistic tool. I’m aware that this platform tends to dislike that kind of usage, and that’s fine.
Bandwagon behavior is a serious issue on platforms like Reddit and Lemmy, and that comes with the territory.
However, the claim that this negativity has meaningfully harmed AI adoption is nonsensical. If this person genuinely believes that AI has been hurt, even slightly, by negative online discourse, then he is clearly out of touch with reality. All available data points indicate the opposite.
what mundane tasks do you find it useful for?
so far the only useful thing I've found (outside of being another search engine) is processing image to text, but I'm pretty sure it's just using existing OCR tools to do that (not sure, I haven't used it much because I only needed to do it once like a year ago)
