I think it’s generally a large number of the population that are disgusted by AI. Why the fuck everything has to come down to gender? I didn’t see that they did any studies. So why invent this ridiculous distinction? Oh she saw it on tiktok so it must be true.
Please tell me that we aren’t doing “the defacto fad for cishet men is AI-bro”. Please. I’m begging you, please.
these comments make it easy to fish out the men in question who haven’t caught on lol
weirdo creeps always self-report their bullshit and never understand how everyone else can smell that a mile away
Not just the women.
This seems pointlessly gendered. Lazy rabebait.
Not wrong, but the original essay this post is picking quotes from was a good read: https://www.wired.com/story/meet-the-sad-wives-of-ai/
I don’t think it’s pointlessly gendered at all (but it’s definitely a stub of an article that should be much longer). That men are more likely to derive meaning from their job is 100% true, as is the fact that male-dominated industries have borne the brunt of recent layoffs, and those most affected are less likely to have the skills to adapt. All of this together absolutely puts a subset of men at higher risk of mental health issues, which makes them more vulnerable to getting caught up in fictions like those offered by AI
Oh shit, I hadn’t even thought of that. That is a god damn recipe for disaster.
Rabies?!
If it convinces some people to not shove AI into other people’s faces, not bad. Even if it only targets straight men.
That’s because their girlfriends are actually AI, not Women.
Hey, this man, and plenty of others, is also disgusted with AI!
That is one dumb title. Not reading that.

I have some mixed feelings about Futurism. They compile a lot of news from trendy tech world, but they are also spammy and clickbaity.
I am also disgusted by LLM/AI.
For me, it’s mostly the deepfakes, the environmental impact, and the reduction in cognitive ability from frequent LLM/AI usage.
The only person I’ve spoken to in person who had any enthusiasm about AI was a woman.
The insidious nature of AI is that it meets our needs and at this early stage and for obvious reasons that might be more the case for men. Given that premise it could incidentally rob women of a superpower.
“Meets our needs”. I’m really curious what needs are you talking about? It’s useless at pretty much everything.
Sexual needs or relationship needs? Nope and if you think so, I know you never had a real relationship. Sorry 😔.
Job/work needs? There isn’t a field where AI can work in autonomously without any human supervision.
Rob women of superpowers? 🤣 What superpowers are you talking about? More like save them from mental health issues and becoming dumb.
What superpower are you talking about? Don’t be shy, please. Spell it out for us ‘females.’
Well possibly not comprehension, in my defence I would say I was referencing the world as it is not as we might wish it to be. I know that is balked at but it is a useful exercise sometimes as it is the place we live. This is not the right platform for such back-and-forthing though as any alternative points of view are heavily downvoted in the name of free speech by people who smell slightly of boats.
Smell slightly of boats? Dude. Dog whistles are meant to be inaudible, not police whistles.
If you’re not willing to explain it’s because you know your hot take is shit and you’re too weak and insecure to handle a challenge
Downvotes don’t impact your ability to explain the reasoning behind your questionable claim. Don’t be a coward.
They are disheartening though and it is not cowardly to avoid conversation, we do it all the time.
it is not cowardly to avoid conversation
Hard disagree. You made a thinly veiled point. Unveil it.
Don’t waste your time. Just tag Miller as a incel coward (or block him) and move on with your life - that’s what I’m gonna do. :-)
Just to be clear, I did not downvote you, because you made your point intentionally vague, and even though I believe it to be the typical incel-bullshit it sounds like, I asked you to clarify on the off chance that I’m wrong.
So please explain. You say you reference the ‘world as it is’ and in this hypothetical world, women have a superpower, right? Which superpower were you talking about, and how would AI take it away?
You reference incels in the way some men reference women.
Says the painfully obvious incel.
Being a misogynist is a choice. Being a woman isn’t.
But keep pretending it’s the same thing, just as an incel would.
Edit: and please don’t come back with the “being involuntarily celibate is not a choice,” because we both (and everyone else besides) know very well that self-proclaimed incels are something else entirely.
And if you would please answer the question I asked twice already: Which superpower were you talking about and how would AI take it away?
I did not know it was acceptable to be prejudiced against a group if inclusion within that group was voluntary. So by your logic you condone prejudice against the Black Panther Party and Greenpeace.
Still not answering my question, are you? I’m not playing this game. You keep derailing to avoid answering. It’s cowardly. And very, very obvious. I prefer to spend my time on other things.
Have a nice day, I guess.
Which needs, psychosis, or sycophancy?
This reveals a fundamental truth about you - you do not think of women as human. They’re easily interchangeable with a mindless sycophantic chatbot because that’s all you want. You don’t want a real person that will disagree with you or say “no”, you want a slave that doesn’t give you back talk and is always ready to praise you and is never too tired to chat and can’t be bored.
Enjoy AI psychosis, assuming you aren’t already there.
This is pure prejudice, this is you and the group here downvoting me, constructing stories against me in your heads founded on next to no evidence and then directing hatred towards me based upon it. If this was the real world and a place remote from justice talk would start to turn to physical crowd retribution against me. Eventually when you decide it is warranted maybe burning, maybe lynching and all while you congratulate yourselves on how you champion free speech and safety of the individual from persecution.
Oh no not your internet points!!!
lol holy shit get over yourself, being downvoted isn’t the equivalent to being fucking murdered. You are not a victim, you merely said something people didn’t like and they expressed disagreement. Happens to me all the time! If you spent more time talking to real people and less time talking to mindless sycophantic chatbots, maybe you’d be able to cope with push-back.
Instead, you construct stories against people who disagree with you, painting us as bloodthirsty monsters. It’s sad.
That’s what chatbots do to people. They infantilize their users, to the point that you can’t handle disagreement or conflict. You only want a smooth social experience where no one disagrees with you and you can say anything you want and no one can get mad at you. That’s why you think chatbots can replace human companionship, because they tell you you’re smart and soo special and that all of your ideas are amazing and they would never ever do something as heinous as downvote your wonderful posts. 🙄
btw I didn’t even downvote you - why would I bother?
I have used LLM but I have never had an exchange with a chatbot in my life, I expressed a reasonable counterargument in a single comment and nothing more. This thread is an extraordinary example of how a group of outwardly functioning adults can in a very short while develop extreme views against an individual based upon nothing and then be very willing to act against that individual as a mob. This should be written up as a paper, I have archived it and will see what others think.
The word “reasonable” is cooperating with “counterargument” to do some very heavy lifting there. See, as a “counterargument” it is very lame, and “reasonable” is simply the wrong word to apply to cowardly vaguebooking a “superpower of women”.
