I think many in the AI space are against the current state of how AI is being pushed, probably just as much as the average tech person.
What is ridiculous is that Lemmy prides itself as both forward-thinking and tech focused, and in reality it is far more close-minded than Reddit or even Twitter. Given how heavily used Mastodon is in tech spheres it makes Lemmy look like an embarrassment to the fediverse...
Yeah, there is every reason to be sceptical of the hype around AI, in particular from the big tech companies. But to a significant part of the Lemmy userbase saying "AI" is like saying "witch" in 17th century Salem. To the point where people who are otherwise very much left wing and anti-corporate will take pro-IP/corporate copyright maximalist stances just becuase that would be bad for AI.
