Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
You're being intentionally obtuse. This is less an unpopular opinion and more a strawman that you can dominate. Gen AI end product is often low quality, hallucination prone, expensive and unreliable. Using AI to code also exponentially raises the likelihood that you do not fully understand "your" code and thus limited in improving it. AI hate us not a random "prejudice" or arbitrary "discrimination" but an evaluation of the final product and the limitations of the tool that made it.
It's normal to continue arguments in your head when your upset, but those thoughts generally shouldn't turn into posts.
I don't believe I am being obtuse. I think we just have different perspectives, and that's okay.
As I said in another analogy, some people are prejudiced against those with tribal tattoos, because they feel like it's usurping cultural heritage. They would boycott a restaurant where the chef has such a tattoo, even though it's a visual style of personal choice that in no way affects the food served. It's the same thing with AI - people argue it's appropriation of others efforts, and they refuse to eat at a restaurant where the menu designer used the tool on the menu.
Perhaps with this analogy you can better see the similarities in thinking?
