I’ve seen the occasional nonimage post here and didn’t know where else to ask this.
On another forum, a downvoter of things, with apparently support from other accounts, revealed that they are downvoting things ‘because they have to do with ai’. I have heard from an admin that they have that same problem here.
But when I look it up and try to find a reference for who they are, the closest thing I come up with is Luddite, which refers to people who generally hate technology. I know antifa people are proudly antifa; same with anarchists. But what is this ‘anti ai’ type of person that seems to have started cropping up? I asked the person directly, but unknown whether they will respond with an accurate reference.
Reminds me of vehement transphobes specifically joining trans communities so they can downvote things; except instead of polar opposite of lgbtq, it is that equivalent except toward ai, creations of ai, and ai community. Encountered it just today and seeking a term to place on what is apparently ‘the enemy’ to this exact niche we are in.
The minute you automate someone’s job, you do necessarily admit that society doesn’t need that person’s work to get by
I think this doesn’t seem right. If society did not need that labor there would be no need to automate it. The work needs to be done but the one who needs it does not want to pay to get it.
