I selective use AI for low risk applications.

I can use it to reskin a picture to a water painting or whatever for the purpose of using it as an icon in a smart home app or similar.

i also use it to clean audio for memes with friends.

At the moment its not reliable to solve actual problems. I simply don't use to for those purposes because it sucks.

So I'm not the only one who refuses to touch it?

Around me and everywhere it's getting insane that it feels like there's literally no one who hasn't used it or use regularly for all kinds of shit.

Now we wait for article “meet genocide vegans: people who are against Israel’s genocide against Palestinians based on ethical reasons”

It’s quite common for me to be annoyed, angry, or upset at a headline writer. Then there’s the feeling I got reading “Meet the AI vegans.”

Whole new level.

Abstaining from a thing does not make one a vegan. That's not how any of this works.

This makes about as much sense as calling Linux users "Windows vegans".

Choosing to not use AI isn't some wacky contrarian position, it's a tame position that can easily be justified. (Don't want to use AI? Then don't.) If anything, trying to assert that constantly using AI for everything would be the new normal is the wacky position.

I want to avoid it but with google making sure that search results get worse and worse I'm in a bit of a pickle. Other search engines still feel lile they're a bit behind though

Not OP. I've been using Ecosia for years and was glad they didn't do the AI summary shit so far... But a few days ago I got an AI summary on Ecosia as well. I fear they're also hopping on this train and in that case I'll look for another search engine.

  • Teetotalers: alcohol vegans.
  • Straight edgers: drug vegans.
  • Recycling: waste vegans.
  • Solar power: power vegans.

The possibilities are infinite if you are a netaphor vegan.

Carnivores: vegetable vegans.

LOL gen z kids are fucking hysterical. AI will save the world, it has already started.

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Where... AI is ruining the world, with devastating levels of environmental impact, job losses and mental faculty damage.

[–] canajac@lemmy.ca -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not true. AI will save us from....us.

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Why don't you save us from you? Make a start.

AI is the new crypto. It will appear to die off but the aspects that work will be integrated into everything.
