Yeah but its great! Best book game ive ever read!

No. There are hundreds of entirely valid reasons to be wary of AI, especially the fact that the word AI has just turned into a corporate buzzword, when I hear that (insert thing) has had AI added to it, that can mean anything from a single static image that was made using “AI art” , to a large language model being used, or maybe they just grafted chatGPT to it.

Maybe if people and companies stopped labeling everything even tangentially computer related as AI I’d be less dismissive of it, but as it is now, whenever “AI” is mentioned in relation to a product it feels like a “corp wants to artificially increase percieved value by using latest trend” moment

A lot, as in a large amount, its hard to put a finite number on something like a large part of a large community I am not a part of nor interested in.

I am not the only one who has noticed this, here is a skit video from 4 moths ago demonstrating this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTBCzH1UyNY

As for sources there are TONS, it takes 5 seconds of googling to find a whole page, including:

Hell, just open one of the NFT marketplaces like opensea, I went to the art tab and the top trending is AI “art”

Also, a large amount of those NFT bros have lately been pushing to allow AI companies to steal artist’s works and otherwise generally licking big AI companies’ collective boot, so not exactly a great look for the future of the industry

Not gonna happen, what everyone is calling “AI” isn’t even actually AI, its just a type of predictive text

Personally, I really enjoy Obsidian ( obsidian.md ), its been fantastic for my notetaking on my PC.

Now, I will admit I haven’t tried it myself but it can apparently work on Synology, so that might be an alternative. Best of luck finding one!
