I’ll start it off:

Windows is a perfectly fine OS, as long as you use Enterprise or Server (Home and Pro are crap)
Self driving cars are the future since the US won’t fully embrace mass transit

The mindset that treats AI like the bubonic plague. It's not something that should be avoided. If used properly, it can be a great asset for people.

AI is just a tool, and you shouldn't blame it for humans' misuse of it. Instead, we should treat it like other tools: as something to use for appropriate situations/tasks.

The "if used properly" is the hard part: AI is good for simple tasks, like organizing and labeling things. However, as of 2026, AI is not sufficient for tasks involving creativity like art and music. It doesn't capture that human aspect yet (It could in the future).

TL:DR: My point is that AI isn't inherently bad, like many people make it out to be. Instead, it's how humans use it that can make it bad.

I fully agree with you.

I stated something similar a week ago or so and had one dude going nuts. I mean nuts;

Spamming “fuck you” towards me.
Saying I was bad at coding (he had no idea that I didn’t even care because, in fact I can’t code and never cared to learn).
Saying my opinion does not matter (as if his opinion was superior lol).

No idea who the guy was, skimmed the comments and immediately blocked him. I thank Lemmy every day for having a infinite blocklist possibility.

I'm fairly Anti-AI, but some people here definitely have a ridiculously absolutist stance towards it, which seems to be getting more common. Like if AI was used to fix a bug in otherwise human-written code for a videogame? That game is now slop and needs to be shunned apparently. If cancer was cured with the help of AI, I'm sure that medicine would be slop too and they'd refuse it like JWs refuse whole blood transfusions.

I think people blame AI for incompetent management, which is like blaming a saw for bad carpentry. AI doesn't force employees to use it whether it's appropriate or not - managers do that. AI isn't building massive datacenters regardless of impact - executives are doing that.

I agree with this.

I use AI at work, it has significantly improved my productivity, it does the shit mundane stuff (like transferring information into new corporate templates) leaving me to concentrate on the actual job I need to do.

I hate AI for reasons™ but the constant whining about AI makes me think it's probably not that bad. I might be 14yo contrarian.
