A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
This will be controversial I think but I wanna say it.
I think "AI is the industrial revolution" is one of these opinions that makes AI easier to grasp and thus it's more popular than most people think.
I believe that too btw because it benefits and destroys us at the same scale. Of course when you get into the details it's a very different technology shift but I think generally a lot of people subscribe to that.
It's not though. AI will have definite impacts, but the wild overvaluation it currently has is based on fantasy.
So are most religions, but here we are.
Millions of people are dead and lands are carved up because of some imaginary sky friends.
They're both speculative investments. The difference is one set of investors expects a return at some point, while the other is happy to receive payment after they die.
Outsourcing one's brain activity benefits whom exactly?
Eh. There were entire sets of jobs dedicated to the manual calculation of numbers. Those jobs don't exist any more.
I'll say this, if you're using AI just to say; find something to buy or somewhere to eat at, or somewhat similar, that would be fine
The problem is generating fake art or to write for you is where the issues lie
