I must live in a bubble, because I had no idea the anti-AI sentiment was so pervasive. I created a custom GPT for GPT plus to help people use scientific skepticism to analyze claims and I thought, "hey, r/skeptic would probably appreciate this." I mean, we live in an era where misinformation is rampant, and a lot of people are unfortunately ill-equipped with the tools or skills to critically evaluate the claims they encounter. Instead of appreciating an effort to help regular folks think more skeptically, I got blasted with anti-AI sentiment:
No. This will only happen if we want it (we don’t) and douches like OP keep pushing “use cases”.please stop doing this) We don’t want another god.
Boo. We don’t want more AI. We want less.
How pervasive is this? I talk about AI frequently at work and nobody has given me the impression they feel this way.
Here's my post, by the way:
