Whats hot about it? This is the most obvious thing ever; most people hate AI.
If you dont hate it for personally inconveniencing you/ruining your favorite service/being shoved down your throat, you hate it for stealing your local water supply/increasing electricity costs/being loud as fuck/increasing computer costs/expediting climate change/stealing from artists.
That being said, liking AI is very right wing, and right wing people only understand memes, so memes are the best format to convert them
Nobody hates AI outside Reddit and Lemmy.
the number after the words hot take indicates the number of times this has been a hot take, eg. at this point you’re just circlejerking
Until you put down your phone, leave the house and realize nobody cares.
Blaming AI for “stealing your water” instead of the mayors who accepted those data centers is the most lemmy thing ever.
Right, but the core of that idea is that AI is what the water is being used for, thus hating AI. Yes, mayors/governors primarily, but AI is what it's being used for and the water being stolen is the reason to hate.
