Social media discourse: AI backlash framed as informed, not ignorant
Two viral posts argue critics understand AI well and that its ubiquity will make human-made work the new luxury.
What to know
- Two separate social posts articulate a growing sentiment that skepticism toward AI is informed rather than a product of ignorance.
- One post predicts AI will normalize into invisible infrastructure, similar to electricity or computers, eventually making human-made products the premium good.
- Evidence is limited to two social posts with minimal engagement data (one with 12 unseen comments, one with none), so this reflects individual commentary rather than a broad confirmed trend.
“The "you just don't like AI because you don't understand it" argument is completely demolished whenever I post about this nuance because everyone resoundingly agrees and supports this version.”

Yeah, basically anything that's actual value is derived by the fact it's completely labor intensive and unique, like restored classic car... Art is expensive because it's a laundering scheme for the rich. Bentleys are expensive because their status symbols for the rich.

Yes personally I pay extra to hire accountants who promise to do all my taxes by hand instead of using icky computers or calculators.

The peak-then-invisible framing tracks, but I'm not sure "human-made" survives as the premium once AI output is indistinguishable. More likely the premium shifts to accountability... a named person who'll stand behind the result. Not the fact that a human's hands touched it.

Based take. AI functioning at its best would be more boring and normal than people make it out to be.

The word AI is a trend, no doubt. I’ve seen programs advertise features they’ve had for years as AI that are just basic computing (you know, the thing computers do) For example there’s this architectural planning program that plots trees in real time as you move the site around. That’s just geometry, nothing intelligent about it. Companies use the…

You still feel this way.. even though.. AI is taking down your personal and PRIVATE medical info in doctors offices?

I have not seen anything generated. Not one single solitary generated image. Where I felt ANYTHING other than very rarely, mild revulsion. Like some twisted uncanny valley reaction. I get fed ai subs every once in a while because reddit wants you to hate engage and the few on aicomic I looked at were absolutely and utterly pathetic. People are…

You are right in my opinion. Yesterday I was looking my two wallpapers in my pc and suddenly realised they were AI generated. Didn't know why I not realized before (they were from 2022-2023). So my mind decided that I didn't want to have a wallpaper made by AI and started to look for a wallpaper made by a human (something painted by hand like a…

Of course, there is no other outcome. Total no-brainer. As super pro-AI i think human made almost-anything will be seen as exotic. Did you handpaint something or made music via acoustic instruments - people are going to think its exotic and cool because its no longer the norm. Its not like we have not seen this before. If you take analog photos…

Not at all the the peak of ai is unlimitef, one day we will bé able to do everything with it much better than humans could ever

Thinking more about it .. we're on the verge of autonomous patrolling humanoid security robots, instant home drone delivery of consumer goods, and pervasive surveillance. It's still definitely "wow, computer", but not in a good way.

How many times have you stopped, looked outside, and thought, 'Wow, nature made all this? Amazing.' We don't usually feel that way about human inventions over time. But AI is going to be different because it’s becoming so one-to-one with us that we won't even be able to tell the difference anymore Think about kids growing up in the age of AI. To…

You gotta read this then. :-) https://solveeverything.org/ 'The Quiet Hum' in the epilogue is just that.

Are you seriously asking why people don't have hundreds of extra dollars laying around each month to pay into health insurance that (by the way) also has deductibles you need to meet? Do you really think the millions of Americans who complain about not being able to afford health care are lying? Edit: nevermind. I forgot your STEM and probably…

Sure but who can afford health insurance or to go to the doctor. Those cures, like everything else in this country, will benefit mostly rich people
