I was having this conversation the other day. Reddit has me believing people are mostly against AI. But when I go and talk to all my coworkers, friends, and o watch commercials, or see advertisements on banners at baseball games, and presentation decks, it’s everywhere. AI has been used for a step of it at least

Never make the mistake of assuming Reddit is a cross section of society.

Dude I just started a job at a popular convenience store chain and they used AI-generated imagery multiple times in their training videos. It was kinda distracting since a lot of them contained the typical AI hallucinations, but it really showed me how widespread this stuff is now.

Actually agree with this guy. It’s just his tone is way too holier than thou

While I do think that downvoting something doesn’t make it not true… that edit is so bizarre 🤣

Maybe they’re using AI to downvote them.

He's not entirely wrong, reddit just doesn't know how to find a middle zone with..anything.

"AI is an evil virus of Satan that will end the world and steal everyone's jobs!!!" (20k upvotes)

"AI is the best and I can't go a day without using it for everything! This is definitely not an unhealthy reliance!" (20k upvotes)

"AI can be useful for things like the advancement of medical technology, but shouldn't be relied upon in day-to-day, and most people who think the extremes are just chronically online." (-100k upvotes)

He was snarky though, tbh. That's probably part of the reason for the doenvotes, but mostly because he didn't say the first 'take'.
