For those who are super against to AI/LLM today. What was the catalyst how did you reach to this point? If you have the power to change our current situation what would you do.
I posted a similar topic early today but worded it wrong that was my mistake. I'm genuinely curious how people have reached to this point and what they hope to achieve after. I understand getting rid of AI/LLM is the obvious one. What do you think we should do to get to that goal or your personal goal.
It's being pushed into situations where having a black box of probability is not what you want. Support bots as an example, you want the same outcome for the same problem. Not a different outcome because someone didn't put a question mark.
You don't want the bot being able to hijack an account because it was asked in the specific way. See Facebook support bot.

You don't want a chat bot to tell airline customers they can do something when the airline has a FAQ section specifically saying no you can't.

You don't want AI bots hallucinating court cases to justify a case. Many news articles on this.
It's used as a workforce reduction mask.
Businesses are using AI rollouts to lower the number of front line employees. Only for the tool to fail.

It's oversold:
When Gardner says only 30% of AI deployments work as sold after asking over 700 IT executives. Why are people still treating it as anything but a broken tool?

For a black box of probability it is terrible at maths. There has been instances of AIs failing high school math tests.

I would answer this but I feel like it's just a billionaire in disguise trying to figure out how to better market their product and that sums up why I hate 2026
I can't even trust that you're human. That's why.
That is fair
The extreme damage to the environment they cause made me firmly against them. Add to that the destruction of the RAM and GPU markets, poisoning people's water, skyrocketing cost of living, their use for mass surveillance, etc.
I'd honestly impose very strict environmental regulations and usage regulations. I'd also impose regulations preventing AI from replacing humans, given all AI isn't reliable enough to do that in virtually any field.
This argument just proves you're thinking with your emotions and completely ignoring logic. You're simply repeating what you heard without any sort of critical thinking involved.
"The extreme damage to the environment they cause"
Like you don't own a car, eat meat, or heat your home.
The environmental damage from AIs doesn't even amount to a fraction of a percent of the pollution and environmental damage you cause simply by existing on this earth.
There are plenty of good reasons to dislike AI, but anyone who starts with environmental reasons is being played so hard they don't even know it.
Sounds like you are the one being played.
Transport, food and heating are not required because they are fun or nice to have. They are means to survive.
Energy and water consumption of data centers are different because the product (AI slop and best guesses) is NOT required to survive.
Sorry for existing (not sorry)
If I had the power to change:
