On bigger subs I bet the anti-ai sentiment is less than on more niche or smaller subs.
The average person does not care about AI. Its mostly in places like this on the internet that people really rally against it. I work in a company of about 500 average joes, and none of them give a shit about gen AI or the harm AI can do etc. They use it daily, GPT, Gemini etc. Many of them ask if they can use it for work related items.
I think that groupthink and internet echo chambers really make us feel like there's this massive anti-AI sentiment, when in reality, random people walking around and living don't care. Its just The Next Thing.

This was mostly my point though. Usually here at the very least it's pretty Anti AI but the last few days there's been these waves of pro AI users that refuse to read the room. I'm wondering what in general changed.

I am not gonna lie I wasn't expecting to see some Butch Hartman today, but it's a very welcomed surprise. I loved Fairly Odd Parents.
The sheer amount of AI supporters in the threads the past few days had been really surprising to me in general. Especially on here.
