    You are on Lemmy so defending AI use will net you down votes. I am an anti-AI person, practically, but you make a very fair and objective point. 👍 I up vote you, not because I agree with AI use but because this is a proper point to make in a proper discussion, which is what this place should be about.

    Kudos.

      Yes AI is definitely a topic that seems to have a fairly united front. I’ve worked in software engineering for 25+ years and I can see the impact AI has on our discipline. So it’s not like I’m hailing it to be an all-positive force - I just think “all it does is generate text” is a weird, flat form of criticism.

        Indeed. Also look at the down votes on my comment. 😂

        But yeah, generative AI has so many environmental and ethical issues that I am totally and wholly against its use in most cases, but you made a fair point and that should be recognized.
