I don't think it's just you. Like it wasn't just one person thinking computers would make us dumb or the automobile making us lazy. I'm betting that someone somewhere thought that cooking food on the fire would make us weaker.

Technology has that ability to generate opposition from status quo.

And as with any technology, there are good uses, bad uses and frivolous uses.

Remember the awful nonsense web pages of the early 90's?

I think AI will make the life's of some of us easier. But I also think it will continue widening the digital divide.

The biggest concern is that, by nature, AI needs massive amounts of power which can only be paid by people with big resources and those people are training it. AI has the trainer's bias.

However, end consumer AI is the tip of the iceberg. AI will succeed when we don't even realize it's there.

I see this sentiment a lot. No way "youre the only one."

I feel like im the only one. No one in my life uses it. My work is not eligible to have it implemented in anyway. This whole ai movement seems to be happening around me, and i have nothing more than new articles and memes that are telling me its happening. It serious doesnt impact me at all, and i wonder how others lives are crumbling

We have a lot of suboptimal aspects of our society like animal farming , war, religion etc. and yet this is what breaks this person's brain? It's a bit weird.

I'm genuinely sympathetic to this feeling but AI fears are so overblown and seems to be purely American internet hysteria. We'll absolutely manage this technology especially now that it appears that LLMs are fundamentally limited and will never achieve any form of AGI and even agentic workflow is years away from now.

Some people are really overreacting and everyone's just enabling them.

I think framing them as "fears" is dishonest.
