I’m curious to get a general pulse on how people here view the rapid evolution of AI, specifically on lemmy. On one side, there’s growing interest in local open-weights models, self-hosted setups, and practical developer/productivity tools. On the other, there seems to be a growing list, I can’t keep track of, that are seen as major concerns. I’m not here to pick sides or be biased in one corner. Im genuinely curious what people have to say about AI in general. And maybe it will help me and other get a better handle on how we perceived it in our ever changing world.


everyone i work with that uses it to generate text has lost the ability or patience to read anything, even very light text written by a human.
at best they skim, but mostly they demand in-person conversations so they can be spoon fed the contents of the documentation.
gone are the days of “this meeting could’ve been an email” because they won’t (or can’t) read the email.
so yeah, i hate it but am required to use it for work. which makes me hate it more.
