    That just so happens to describe me to a T. I’m a privacy-minded programmer who came here as part of the Reddit exodus. Because I’m a programmer and am aware of how these AIs function, I am not overly concerned about them and appreciate the capabilities they provide to me. I’m aware of the risks and how to manage them.

    The comment I was responding to brought up “Linux is better” unprompted. But that’s in line with the echo, so I guess that’s fine.

      Objectively, these three statements form a paradox. At least one statement has to be false.

        I’m not overly concerned because I know how to use these things. I know what they do, and so when one of them is doing something concerning I turn it off.

        People are frightened of things they don’t understand, and it’s apparent that lots of people don’t understand AI.

          Good luck turning off the corporate AI’s scraping your data from whatever websites you use to profit off of it!
