Personally, I have made many critical comments on AI. Quite a few have been downvoted. The vast majority of people here, in my opinion, are pro-technology and have a blind spot towards it and have trouble criticizing it deeply. They hold the instrumental view of technology that it is just a tool, that we should learn to use it properly, and that technology generally improves the human condition. And of course, a large proportion of people are blinded by the fact that they make a LOT of money with AI, so of course there is a strong bias towards it.

Yes, some people do hold mild negative view of specific companies or how some technology is used, but the criticism is usually exceptionally mild towards a general class of technologies.

There is very little room for true critical discussion here. I still occasionally comment because I think AI is a net detriment to humanity and to the world and I feel the need to speak about it, but it is absolutely true that there is a very strong pro-tech bias that precludes real discussion.

In my opinion, the vast majority of responses to critical AI content here have been knee-jerk reactions with very little thought put into them.
