    I have never seen anyone other than tech bros hype AI. Quite the opposite, I only see people raging on AI.

      I guess I should make some sort of clever comment about a mirror here but it looks like I’ve run out of shits to give. Good chat!

      Me too. Especially here in Lemmy. Definitely way more people rage about it. Rarely I see people being obnoxious by promoting it.

      You must only be reading web forums like Lemmy/Reddit. I think society as a whole is very excited by the idea of AI.

      Companies everywhere have been racing to be the first to add AI to their products, for instance. Not just tech bro companies either. Everybody.

      Edit: so many downvotes and no comments. I see AI hype everywhere, it’s a fact. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, just that it isn’t limited to tech bros.

        You got me wondering, and it seems like opinion is mixed among US adults

        Overall, we saw mixed emotions around the rise of AI. 39% of Americans feel positive about AI while 20% feel negative. The most commonly expressed emotion was curiosity, followed by interest and worry.

        It seems to hold true internationally too

        People are most likely to say they are concerned (32%), curious (30%), and hopeful (27%) about artificial intelligence. … 24% of respondents said AI will make our lives better. 41% of respondents think AI will make our lives both better and worse. Only 10% of respondents think AI will only make our lives worse

          Saying society overall is excited might have been an overreach, but to say only tech bros are hyping this is far from reality. I think there’s plenty of people that are excited about AI. And I don’t necessarily think that’s a good thing. More than 32% of people should be concerned about AI.

          Yes, what it actually signifies is that markets are mostly run by supply side economics. In other words, the typical product creation story is that companies produce products and then try to shove them down everyone’s throats.

          It’s hard to tell. I get on Lemmy/reddit and see all kinds of anti AI messages. But I look at what’s happening on things like TikTok and instagram, and people don’t seem to care. They like and share all the AI slop. Knowing it is AI slop.

          The comment I was responding to was saying it is only tech bros hyping AI. I think that’s just not true. There’s a wide range of people hyping AI. Companies, governments, schools (when used the right way and not just cheating), etc…

          As for public in general, I think most people just don’t care. They see the benefits of AI and don’t think about the negatives, so they just embrace it.
