I just shared a simple post asking opinions about using AI, and I know, you might think I’m dumb, maybe I am indeed, probably. The problem is, you could feel in the comments the rage, they holding themselves to not say I should kill myself for using AI.

In a specific comment I asked a guy what he thinks about people who are obligated to use AI in the job, their solution is quite simple, quit the job and find another one.

I deleted my post there because it was unbearable, but then I was just checking my comment history now and I noticed every single comment of mine in that post got an extra down vote, I can’t even imagine how it feels like in the head of the guy who did it: “Look this piece of shit I really need to down vote him to show my discontentment, it doesn’t matter what he wrote he uses AI”.

Things are weird, I didn’t see things like that even on Reddit, I can’t remember such a hateful community like that, and it’s very odd to find it on Lemmy itself.

The worst part is that they don’t realize that retaliating people who use AI will lead to the very opposite outcome, those people will feel more isolated and since everybody is such a dick, why to bother stop using AI?

Between two groups of people: Anti-AI and Neutral-AI, I’d stick with the Neutral-AI group since the other is retaliating me, why’d I feel like I need to prove anything for them? Ykwim? The problem is that they’re pushing people who are prone to be anti-AI (like me), to actually give up from the idea because of the absurd extremism they expect of you.

It feels like they’re actually competing to see who is more anti-AI purist all the time, there’s no tolerance.

It’s just bizarre, it’s like if they’re trying to fight Hitler by killing everybody that doesn’t want to kill Hitler.
