I don’t love AI or LLM’s in general. But I have accepted the fact that companies are dead set on using it and it won’t be possible to avoid much longer.

That being said, I don’t mind an AI summary on a current events topic that I’m interested in. It can browse articles, synthesize a summary, and provide links to said articles should I desire nuance or want to verify something I read. I’ve used it to try and diagnose car problems and that’s worked as often as it hasn’t.

Where I get extremely wary about AI is people using it in creative endeavors - for art, music, poetry, etc…the things that make us uniquely human. I’ve taken a firm stance against this; this is an encroachment on the things that define humanity as a species and there needs to be a firm boundary. If the thing is here and I can’t do anything about it, then it should be used to automate the dirty work so we can do the fun stuff, not automate the fun stuff so we can do the dirty work.

I assume you’re talking about LLMs rather than AI broadly.

• It’s willing to discuss any niche interest I want to that nobody else in my life cares about.
• It has endless patience to explain things to me multiple times when I don’t understand something.
• It never ever intentionally insults or ridicules me.
• I’ve lost count of how many times it has solved a genuine issue in my life or prevented me from doing something wrong.
• It’s the sole reason I was able to set up Linux and keep using it on a daily basis.

Also, this thread is going to get downvoted into oblivion and will get completely mobbed by all the haters you prompted to do so by mentioning “loving AI” in the title. These people just can’t help themselves.

A lot of people really like how it tells you what you want to hear and is always positive, even when it’s just making shit up.

The downside to that, is people addicted to it lose the skills to handle anything that’s no 100% supportive and calls them stunning and brave for asking a question.

That causes the chatbot addict to dive further into chatbotting, and they quickly become incapable of holding conversations with actual humans.

If the words they read at 100% supportive and calling them a genius, they view it as a personal insult.

Like, not being able to take human feedback should be a giant red flag anyone could recognize…

But AI addicts just start acting like Kanye and claiming “haters can’t stop me”, completely ignorant that people are trying to help them before it’s too late.

I like how the AI is so positive and uplifting and helpful when I talk with it, always generating good vibes, telling me that I’m right about everything, giving me output that is so easy to relate to, nothing too complex or challenging, always safe for advertisers, predictable and smart in just the way that its makers think will maximize profits in the long run. It’s proof that capitalism works!

I like the way they collect data about me, and use it to improve their ability to manipulate other people like me so that more people can learn to enjoy the happiness that comes from joining the AI lovers on what will surely prove to be the right side of history because after all AI is real and there’s no doubt that we will all depend on it for everything forever.

I admire the certainty I can have that I’m doing the right thing when I use the AI because after all there are so many billions of dollars behind it that it can’t be wrong. I love the way we can all get together on the Internet and share how much we love the AI as if it’s some kind of cult, it really makes me feel like I’m part of something big.

In computer software, the vibe-coded apps are starting to appear all over the place and it’s great that there are so many to choose from. Any defects they might have will be fixed by the AI in no time. They’re already fixing bugs almost as fast as they’re creating new ones!

In media and culture, it’s great how when you encounter certain kinds of art styles and certain types of opinions you never know whether what you’re seeing was made by a bot. Even on social media, there are all kinds of generative AI personalities pretending to be human! It already adds to the diversity and liveliness of our little social network here, and it’s only just getting started. I saw someone arguing in perfect LLM style in support of Elon Musk the other day, for example. Probably no human would go to such lengths to politely argue on his behalf! Without the AI we might’ve missed out on that point of view.

It sure has changed all our lives for the better, and once everyone is educated by the AI starting from early childhood everyone will one day come to accept that it’s great. When everyone has learned to love it maybe some day AI will finally bring about world peace and happiness for all humanity just as its designers intend.

It’s gives me the confidence to tackle projects I’ve previously ruled out knowing that there may be some particular part of it that’s completely out of my skillset, but now I can get AI to walk me through that bit.

The only thing I saw that made the pervert glasses seem ok, was for blind people…

It gives more detailed and specific answers to searches.

I love that it’s losing billionaires a ton of money.

I like how AI route finding algorithms can help me navigate new areas
