Congrats on posting an actual unpopular opinion!
There was one the other day too, good things are happening
Your opinion is certainly unpopular, so I upvoted.
But I strongly suspect that the strength of your conviction is directly proportional to how far away you live from data centers.
Guys, if you disagree, then you upvote. If you agree, then you downvote. RTFM. You upvote UNPOPULAR OPINIONS here.
You're not my supervisor.
You're fighting against gravity. Unless the mods sticky an all-caps billboard in every post, it'll never happen. RTFM obviously isn't working.
I think you can still upvote an opinion you agree with if it's distinctly unpopular.
I don't agree. Upvotes are solely for agree and downvotes are solely for disagree.
No, shan't.
No. Some unpopular opinnns are such bullshit that they deserve to be downvoted into oblivion. Fuck AI and all its uses.
This is like someone upset that their house is on fire and someone telling them, yeah, but fire is cleansing.
AI is destroy human culture every fucking day. As someone on the spectrum, I couldn’t give a shit about how it’s helping a feel people communicate.
I guess, if loneliness and lack of human experience/maturity is like heroin, ChatGPT is like methadone? So I'm glad overall that these lost souls, unprepared for life, have found some solace in the machine but idk, seems like something an actual functioning society would take care of, the whole raising people to be people kind of thing, and this is a bandaid and an analgesic that will only help compound the problems in the long run.
Using autistic people as a means to defend AI is a wild take.
Also, I feel this take is generally popular in real life and in most online spaces. Most people I have met in real life have the take of, "IT'S INEVITABLE SO BETTER GET ON IT!"
It’s an absolute shamelessly bullshit take. This shit needs to be removed.
so autistic is analytical and data driven?

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/
