AI is polarizing.

The rest of the world outside of the US and Europe loves AI. China is embracing it fully.

Why is our Western media making the public hate it so much? It's almost as if it's a top down edict from all the news giants to constantly dump on AI and make it sound like it'll kill you.

If we maintain this view, we're going to get steamrolled. And we'll have deserved it.

It isn't needed in every device. I don't need ai in a plug, or in a charging bank. I am perfectly capable of making a decision myself. I can use a piece of software without AI being helpful. Often I just want easy to use items that I have full control over and this lumping AI into everything is removing that.

It kind of seems the opposite to me. I'm seeing so much marketing budget and and positive media exposure. It's the people that don't like it because of what it is and what it represents.

I would love to see this supposed "positive media exposure".

All I see are doom and gloom forecasts, "bubble" talk, and how bad it is for the environment.
