Fuck AI

One of the reasons stated for disliking AI has been data harvesting and privacy infringement.

Which lot of people are not realizing they are providing on their own and doing a bulk of the invasive AI's job for them from the get go.

I guess look at how you use lemmy. Would you feel comfortable if your username was your name and profile pic your face? Did past you do that on your interactions with the web so people can type in your name and find archives of your contributions as opposed to it being dumb things from a random username? Not that there weren't people who did, but the sentiment of be careful what you share and a more cautious view did appear to be more common compared to now.

So its not so much social media is bad, but the way people choose to use it now days that people don't look deeper into. Kind of like how some people will upload videos of crimes they are doing on social media because of how comfortable they've gotten to treating it like a personal diary.

When I bring up the old internet it's about general approach of what information is provided and given freely by the user as opposed to technical assessment of how secure the old internet was.
