Why do people hate generative AI so much especially on Twitter?
I went on twitter for a bit because I was board and there were discussions about people absolutely loathing AI and that it's making people incredibly lazy...I am trying to understand how exactly? I am an engineering student so unless I actually know the work, I wouldn't be able to actually progress in my classes due to quizzes, midterms, and exams. I can see what they mean when it comes to people writing essays though and just taking it straight from chatGPT and copying it. However, I believe schools are also implementing tools that can detect evidence of AI as my school implemented that tool for majority of my ethics courses to catch those who did cheat. So, yes I do understand that generative AI is being used by several people for the right or wrong reasons but I don't think hating it should be the solution but rather it's direction should be questioned instead. I don't think artists should also be feeling insecure in it's art generation when there is no real "art" present. At least from what I think. Sure there are some scary things about it being able to write it's own code and what not and with it's constant evolution as well the risk of multiple people being laid off and being replaced with AI is not out of the picture but shouldn't they ridicule anyone who considers doing stuff like this not the generative AI developers? I don't know maybe there is something I am missing...
