> The middle distribution of Gen-Z’s feelings about AI range from apprehension to downright hatred. Despite the fact that more than half of Gen Z living in the U.S. uses AI regularly, according to a recently released Gallup poll, less than a fifth feel hopeful about the technology. About a third says the technology makes them angry. And nearly half say it makes them afraid.
Gen Z went through a pandemic that destroyed their social lives, then AI comes in to destroy their professional lives (and also their social lives as well).
If anything, I’m surprised this is all that’s happened (so far).
AI being used for mass surveillance, AI being used for military operations, AI being used for hacking, AI being blamed for people losing their job and AI doing a shitty job at anything the public can use it for.
Then they’re surprised people don’t like that the supposed quality of life improvements only lead to enriching people with more money than could be spent in a thousand years? Gee, I wonder if we can figure out how to solve this.
EDIT: Whatever country you’re in, make sure you vote. Only two things that will stop this, laws or violence. I hope for the former, but am unlikely to be the one to ultimately make that decision.
They’re going to be building AI enabled drones for self-protection next.
Well, yes. People see that AI is literally just a grift that only benefits a couple sectors, all the funds go to people who don’t need more money and is at the expense of the entire populace.
People also realise that there is a higher chance of the elite class seeing us as a ‚burden‘ after enough of us have been replaced and constructing a plan to rid us all rather than the UBI utopia we were given ideas about. so the backlash isn’t about people ’not getting AI‘ or ‚wanting to stay in the past‘, it’s about survival and people not wanting wealth inequality to be taken to an even further extreme than it already is at.
It is inevitable with the way we are rolling out Ai with no concern for consequences.
Fuck Sam altman
Is it really that confusing that the generation that uses AI the most and therefore in general knows most about what it actually can or can’t do, is the angriest at the grifters claiming all these nonsense use cases for it that AI can’t actually do effectively or well? Especially since those claims seem to be convincing to a large subsection of employers that are actively pushing said generation out of the work force?
AI is just… bad. There’s some really specific niche uses cases where it’s been used well, such as medical research, but the vast majority of it has barely any meaningful use beyond novelty. It can barely google for you accurately, but it sure as hell can convince you that it can. Every where it gets tried in professional settings from basic computing, to facial recognition, it just fucks up too often. It is at it’s core a guessing machine. It’s not even on the right track to becoming the General AI these grifters claim it will become, and the fearmongers are scared it’ll become. It’ll never become Skynet. It’s not even the right foundation to transition to that. All it can do is continue to make guesses as to the correct outcome of a prompt. And all they can do to make it better is to just give it more and more processing power. They’re literally already reaching the edges of how effective that is too. This shit has diminishing returns.
This is something I don’t think most people actually even realize yet. AI progress is already slowing down. The updates aren’t changing very much about what it can do or do well anymore. But their CEOs insist it’s making massive leaps in progress and you’re just supposed to take them at their word. These big AI companies have already consumed the majority of useful data on the internet, so it can’t actually get that much „smarter.“ It can just spend more energy computing the outcome of a prompt. That’s literally why they want to build more datacenters. Well that and the tax breaks. The demand for AI is not increasing, so there’s no demand side need for processing capacity. They just want it to give better answers so they can grift a little harder to the people investing.

No it’s not. Lol
Altman sexually assaulted his own sister for years. He’s one of them
If you didn’t want people to be so radically angry about AI, maybe your CEOs shouldn’t have been on the news every day saying things like „our tech will make you irrelevant, it’ll take your job and ruin your hobbies and sleep with your wife and also it’s totally useless to resist.“
Sadly ongoing to get worse. What would people expect when CEOs are repeatedly saying everyone is going to lose their jobs.
Either AI is a scam or it will destroy public order. Any world where AI is successful results in incredible harm to the vast majority of people.
Yes but gains are private, losses are public.
Good. Burn it all
Thoughts and prayers.
Any chance these people trying to take out Altman are from the future, trying to save humanity from a doomed existence?
It’s not AI backlash, it’s the way I’m which they’re being rolled out. It’s specifically from actions people are taking, not the AI itself.
Even magically all the CEOs of the AI companies suddenly want to slow down and examine the impact on jobs and the society, the government will have to force them to speed up the development. We have China on the other side of the planet firmly believe that it has the historical right of being the world no.1, and going berserk on catching up on AI.
We have multiple major (if not existential) risks related to AI, none of them are pretty:
1) The US goes too fast on AI and causes massive unemployment.
2) The US slows down a bit and gets caught up by China on AI. Powerful AIs are in control by authoritarian regimes using them for censorship, twisting reality and creating powerful weapons to overwhelm us.
3) Either the US or China goes too fast competing with each other, cutting too many corners for AI alignment, creating powerful rogue AIs having their own agendas.
I will be surprised and really thankful that humanity survives the next 100 years with a free and open society.
Edinburgh city has banned data centre developments. May other cities across the world follow suit. We must protect our water.
Nah, it’s not. This is the dude whose empire is built by people who believe in false flags. I’m gonna say it’s false flags till he is actually physically harmed. Just to piss him off specifically.
Finally, some good news
Whatever it takes. This shit is evil and needs to be shut down.
I urge people to check out [quitgpt.org](http://quitgpt.org) . It’s a great resource for information on this topic.
What could go wrong….
I mean, instead of building a tool to help humanity and make their lives easier and use it purposefully, They are building it to replace humans and hoard shit tons of money while the poor majority is the one that will face the consequences of AI in their lives.
Instead of being philanthropic and humanitarian about it, they turn into dystopian megalomaniacs… Geez… No wonder the backlash…
This needs to be more. And the crazy palantir guy saying AI will take all our jobs.
All things considered there’s some sweet irony that statistically speaking some percentage of posts in these threads shitting on ai companies and ai executives… are ai.
