Hey ! I hope you’re all doing well :) !
I did my first real promotion post for the project yesterday, over on the open source community on Lemmy:
https://lemmy.zip/post/72602770
Felt good to finally put it out there, first time it goes somewhere other than our own corner. Then I read the first comment, and it was about the AI :p
And honestly, this is a good moment to talk about it with you all, instead of only having it written down in a statement somewhere.
One thing I keep coming back to, and I mean it as a real question, is why this topic takes up so much room for some people. My feeling is that it’s more of a US thing, but maybe that’s just my European view. The numbers sort of go that way: Gallup surveyed 37 countries, and 68% of daily AI users in the US say AI worries them, while in 34 of those 37 countries positive feelings about AI are more common than negative ones.
Where I am, the mood I see is more “let’s learn the tool, understand what it actually does, then decide”. And I’m lucky, I have a calm life and work that leaves me time to dig into the things I care about, so I can approach it that way. Not everyone has that.
So I’d really like to hear it from you:
-
What do you actually think about AI in TypeType?
-
Does the transparency statement answer your questions, or is something missing?
-
If you’re in the US, or anywhere else, is the anxiety that strong where you live? What’s behind it?
-
If you use the app, do you care how the code was written, or only that it works and stays maintained?
I read everything, and I’d much rather have this conversation here with you than in someone else’s comments ;p
Thanks for being here :) !
This has absolutely nothing to do with politics.
I do agree we should stay neutral, but you can not denied ai has impact on environment, water, energy consumption, carbon footprint, intellectual property training ethics, right? And those topics are hot on some people’s politics map, so every projects using ai will be involved. I am not saying that what is right or wrong. I am just stating my theory based on my observation. If you have survey for ai perception vs political spectrum,I will be enlightened to read. Lots of studies on how ai tried to alter people’s political view, but not much studies looked into why ppl like/hate ai and how their rationale aligning their original political spectrum. I mentioned politics only because you mentioned usa which is very divided right now and you want to know the reason
I like that comprehensive answer, maybe you should put more context in your initial comments in the future. I agree with your perspective but just saying “xy=bad” is never really helpful.
