Are people still in denial about the daily usage of AI?

It's interesting people from the old technological sphere viciously revolt against the emerging new thing.

Actually I think this is the clearest indication of a new technology emerging, imo.

If people are viciously attacking some new technology you can be guaranteed that this new technology is important because what's actually happening is that the new thing is a direct threat to the people that are against it.

People attacked leaded gasoline as a collosal mistake even as the fuel corporations promoted it.

"Because people attack it, it therefore means it's good" is a overly reductionist logical fallacy.

Sometimes people resist for good reasons.

I don't think that's such a great signal: people were viciously attacking NFTs.

[mrguyorama]

There is a subset of human beings so absurdly and brokenly conspiratorial that "is attacked" is something they consider the strongest possible signal.

It's insane.

NFTs are still being used. Along with a lot of the crypto ecosystem. In fact we're increasingly finding legitimate use cases for it.

[turzmo]

Claiming that NFTs are still being used is a ridiculous misrepresentation of the facts.

Look at this. I think people need to realize that it's the same kind of folks migrating from gold rush to gold rush. If it's complete bullshit or somewhat useful doesn't really matter to them.

"vicious"? Temper your emotions a bit.

In fact I would make a converse statement to yours - you can be certain that a product is grift, if the slightest criticism or skepticism of it is seen as a "vicious attack" and shouted down.

Did you even click the link. It's a rant I would get banned for repeating it here. Actually even the title here says "nuclear".

So yes. Vicious.

Your problem is actually with my point, which you didn't address, not really, and instead resort to petty remarks that tries to discredit what's being said.

It's often the last resort.

[trinsic2]

Yep. I hear that "vicious attack" phrase from plenty of people with narcissistic personality disorders in the tech industry in an attempt to try and shift the narrative. Its sick, really.

[lacy_tinpot]

You clearly didn't read or even bother with opening the link did you.

In fact if it's not "vicious" quote it here.

[trinsic2]

The word "vicious" this context is being used to drive a narrative, its not really used to actually have anything useful to say.

[lacy_tinpot]

It is descriptive. The attack against AI is quite literally "vicious".

[trinsic2]

You are confusing "vicious" with "justified backlash for inhumane treatment of individuals"

[CerryuDu]

I've tested the "emerging new thing", and it's utter trash.
