Rate your hatred for generative AI on a scale of 1-10 (1 close to none hatred, 10 extreme hatred)

3 of my most popular threads on here were. The first original spam thread. It was sort of a creative invention. And I posted a lot in it. But it was deleted I think due to a lack of rules within that thread sadly.
A recovery thread that was inspired by my third therapist. Name 3 positve things that happened to you today

And anoher highly popular thread was Rate your suicidal thoughts on a scale of 1-10.

So here comes the thread where you rate your hatred for generative AI.
My friends really hate AI and I asked them this question. And their answers were 8-9. I joked I think 10 should not mean you have to hate it on a Ted Kaczynski level.

I am not sure why my friends didn't respond 10. But I think you probably had to engage in protests or something similar on such a level. Maybe they also notice that I see some use in AI. I once did a funny AI prank on them. I often sent them news articles from different outlets often from a newspaper they really despise. And I generated with Grok an article that looks like from that outlet with the title. Here is why Adolf Hitler was a leftwing communist. A right-wing politician claimed that prior to that. And I persuaded my friend to read that article and he became increasingly confused. The first impression was I didn't expect anything else from that outlet complete bullshit. But when he read the article he was like the narratives of that article don't make much sense to me. After like an hour I told them this was a prank. And we all had to laugh a lot....

Where do I rate my hatred for AI? I am using generative AI frequently. But most of my friends don't like AI. Most of my friends boycott it. And when I meet people or see them posting online I can better relate to people/or I have a better chemistry with people who hate AI. Lol.

I am also not sure whether the impact on me will be positive in the longrun. I think though I have personality and life that makes me vulnerable to AI addiction or dependency. I am often very overwhelmed by my life and AI chatbots make me a little bit more function. I ask myself though which price will I have to pay for that. There were positive and negative effects on my life because of my usage. I could imagine my usage of AI is like a guilty pleasure. On the other hand on some occassions it really helped me to reach out for help. And I was able to organize help for my dad who is in a very desperate situation. It is easier to organize resources for me and to formulate mails that usually overwhelm me. In some ways I also understand myself better. There was something I always suspected I adapted the perspective/gaze of a bully as a consequence of bullying. I want to learn more about that. Though, I have huge doubts whether AI will have a good impact on the culture, internet, workplace, financial life of most citizens. I dislike all the AI billionaires and I don't buy any of their altruism. It is perverted to what effective altruism has become nowadays...I once really liked that concept. I wish unemployment would become less stigmatized. I doubt we will see massive unemployment though as a consequence of generative AI. Many of my friends also have economic fears. I cannot work anyway. I wish the productivity lies became true. And everything was automized and there was the age of abundance. The way more realistic scenario is however that the top 1%, maybe the top 0,1% will accumulate insane amounts of money and the rest of the society will have to fight for the crumbs.

So my final answer is 2 or 3. Thus far I don't hate that I use AI. Even though I have a lot of self-hatred for myself. But the developments around AI sound concerning.

It's about 0 for generative AI itself, but strong 8-9 for people who flood the entire internet with AI slop

Around 7 I'd say. I don't use it in my personal life--I've never even used ChatGPT--but I do use it sparingly at work (coding job).

I think it's done far more harm than good and I am really worried about it frying the brains of younger generations. I sometimes go to the library to work and it is astounding how many people are using it for their studying and whatnot. As a society we are now outsourcing our decision-making and thinking capabilities to a fancy autocomplete that can't reason or understand anything. I'm not that worried about jobs, but I am worried about the sheer amount of AI slop on the internet.

1 or a 2. I don't understand the hatred.

I get the anti-tech stance, but why now? Technology has been killing our mental health for the last 60 years. TV, social media, dating apps, phones, tiktok. Its all very harmful. AI is just the latest piece of a dystopia long in the making.

Replacing jobs? If your job is replaceable by a chatbot, you didn't have a real job to begin with. Do construction or something. I hate the fake cushy white collar jobs that involve making PowerPoints and joining Teams calls. Why should some people have to do those jobs, while other people are forced to fix the roads? If AI eliminates those jobs, good.

I use AI at my job to learn about things I didn't know, and I find it very useful. I can learn much quicker - since I can ask questions back and it gives me tailored responses. Using Google to get info is way less efficient.

Now for the data centers - using water and electricity. Fine. I agree. They should pay. But Americans have no right to complain. Everyone is a consumer. Everyone I know lives and breathes to buy more crap they dont need, more European vacations they dont need, newer gadgets. Everyone is a consumer. And now you're going to complain? Glass houses. Our whole culture needs an overhaul.

Maybe a 7...

I don't really use it much and I resent it being forced on all of us. Google searches have become extremely hit and miss I've noticed. I dislike a lot of the slop produced and I hate having to question absolutely everything now.

I enjoy procrastinating on YouTube and it used to be fun to see videos of seemingly impossible events, animals, mysteries etc. Now, there's always the possibility that it's just AI slop trying to get clicks.

I think people using AI to clone voice actors is utterly criminal.

That all said, I do enjoy some stuff. I assume it is AI... There are a whole series of shorts on YouTube that show actors from iconic films- then and now, wandering around the sets. They give those who have passed on, angel wings. It's really cute. It's a lovely idea and some of the visuals are amazing. Even there though- they make mistakes sometimes- which is annoying. For such a great concept, you'd think they'd get their basic facts right!

It's like anything that's convenient though. The same as when CGI was new. It can either be used creatively or for good or, it can be used in a slapdash, lazy way or to simply plagarize.

Overall, I think it's bad though. It's no good giving the human race tools that need responsibility to use because- we aren't a responsible race.
