So, why are there so many posts asking 'Can I do this with AI, can I do that with AI' popping up on here recently? I thought most of the Fediverse would've been anti-AI based on its general demographics.

I barely see a single post like this.

Maybe Lemmy.org is federated with some different folks, but where are you seeing them? From here, it even seems super rare even in places you might expect, like self-hosted or the dbz0 tech circles.

Here's two, one I scrolled across and one that came up in a search.

To be blunt, two doesn't seem like a lot to me.

And one of those is on the LocalLLaMA community, which is for people running LLMs locally, so it's a pretty safe bet that they aren't going to have any fundamental ideological problems with LLMs. If you go to !localllama@sh.itjust.works, !imageai@sh.itjust.works, or similar, it'd be very surprising if you found people who had an issue with generative AI.

That one kind of reminds me of when I first showed up here and was using kbin, which puts random posts in the sidebar to encourage discoverability. Both myself and another new kbin user wound up in some thread on a pawb.social community. The other guy


who probably didn't understand the structure of the Threadiverse or where he was commenting


was complaining about "all these furries" in the thread.

+1 to tal, that's not a lot.

However I do see a lot of the first post 'type' on Reddit. There a lot of that spam in /r/localllama.

But it's not AI specific, as I see a lot of that in technical forums as well: just some drive-by poster briefly asking for help, with no details, and never bothering to reply in the comments.
