ive been having a difficult time putting this into words but i find anti-ai sentiment much more interesting than pro-ai

almost every pro-ai converation ive been a part of feels like a waste of time and makes me think wed be better off reading sci fi books on the subject

every anti-ai conversation, even if i disagree, is much more interesting and feels more meaningful, thoughtful, and earnest. its difficult to describe but maybe its the passion of anti-ai vs the boring speculation of pro-ai

im expecting and hoping to see new punk come from anti-ai. im sure its already formed and significant, but im out of the loop

personally: i use ai for work and personal projects. im not anti-ai. but i think my opinion is incredibly dull

Anti Ai conversation forces us to think about what we actually value and WHY. Its a nice mix of real life factors and philosophy and I also find it enjoyable to read.

I've typed out so many comments but deleted them because I find its so hard to find the words that convey what I feel is right but also dont contradict.

I couldn't disagree more. Every anti-AI argument I read has the same tired elements - that AI produces slop (is it?) that is soulless (really?). That the human element is lost (are you sure?). As most arguments of the form "hey everyone else, stop being excited about something" typically go, I find these to be dispassionate -- not passionate. What is there to get excited about when your true goal is to quash everyone else's excitement?

Whereas I find pro-AI arguments to be finding some new and exciting use case for AI. Novelty and exploration tend to be exciting, passion-inducing topics. It's why people like writing about learning Rust, or traveling.

At least that's my experience.
