    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.

      Just because you have an unpopular opinion in actual tech leaning groups doesn’t mean it’s group think. It means your opinion sucks

      Being tech-leaning is exactly why we are against AI. We are just much more aware of the resource it’s consuming, the privacy it’s infringing, and the content it’s stealing.

        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.

          The issue with “tech-leaning” people who believe AI is the future is that they’re in the “peak of mount stupid” part of the Dunning-Kruger curve. Once you get past that, you realize AI was never good at anything and it’s harmful to everyone in a million different ways. Most of lemmy’s tech-leaning people have already realized that, and are actively trying to avoid AI.

          Graph of the Dunning-Kruger effect, where you can see a curve displaying confidence on the vertical axis and knowledge on the horizontal axis. At low knowledge, confidence peaks, and that part is labelled "peak of mount stupid". After that, with more knowledge, confidence goes down and is labelled "valley of despair". Finally, confidence starts to grow very gradually when approaching high knowledge, and this part is labelled "slope of enlightenment".
