| No, I don't think it's really bad. Most of the world doesn't care. Only in a small tech niche on the internet do they care a lot. |

| Are you sure? Because most of the world also doesn’t know how “this cloud thing” works… I think we need global, EU style consumer and data protection constraints before stepping into LLM-powered ads through personal assistants. |

| I just got back from Thanksgiving holiday with my family. Grade schools kids all the way up to great grandparents up to 81 years old. Engineers, active military, a nurse, high schoolers, two in college. Both coasts represented and Texas. Republicans, Democrats, and in-between. The one and only thing every single person had in common was an utter hatred of AI. And it wasn’t for a lack of understanding of how it will be used. |

| ▲ | lII1lIlI11ll 14 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I wouldn't bet on LLMs steamrolling jobs of a nurse or military personnel any time soon. | | |
| ▲ | LastTrain 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | There are so many more reasons to hate AI than just “it is taking my job”. But even if we’re just sticking to that, some people don’t like that it will replace their co workers, neighbors or family members job. |

The polling on AI, which is mixed and reveals lots of pessimism and fear among a slight majority of Americans, but hardly universal “utter hatred”. My guess is some combo of: your family is not representative, the hatred was not as universal as it appeared (bandwagon effect), or your own hatred of AI caused you to focus on the like-minded opinions shared and ignore any contrary evidence. | | |

| most of the world not caring doesn't mean it's not bad. |

| The part of the world who have experienced genocide because of Meta and their ad model cares. |
