I don't get this massive hate for AI. I am running it on my PC locally, have been using it as a toy to make some funny images, videos, voice clones to make my family and friends laugh. I might be naive but why the hate towards a tool that nobody forces you to use? It has its problems, sure, not to me it looks just like when painters when you present them with a camera.

Right here is the problem, because many companies like Adobe and Microsoft have made obtrusive AI that I would really like to not interact with, but don't have a choice at my job. I'd really like to not have to deal with AI chatbots when I need support, or find AI written articles when I'm looking for a how-to guide, but companies do not offer that as an option.

i had to admonish a couple of people from using it for shits and giggles.. it felt a bit off but i managed to salvage the situation with an explanation, which then felt neater because in the end both times we agreed ai needs less attention rather than more (i.e. dont play around with it, if you want to see it "in action"/need an example, there is already enough generated crap in the sink)
