PSA: lemmy.dbzer0.com labels anyone who shows any dislike for AI as a "right-wing neoliberal"
(lemmy.world)
~~They will also delete any comments that complain about AI at all, even though there is no rule against it.~~
/--edit--/
After second look, that's not entirely true, but they definitely have a trigger finger for it and leave plenty of other "off-topic" comments.
Considering the amount of posts deleted, it should have just been locked instead of nuking comments with a negative view of AI
Here's the thread in the screenshot:

Also, here you can see other's seem to think this was an attempt to silence dissent (though, I don't think that this coming from drag is a great point for it):

Just look at this completely insane comment from an instance admin:
This may be a mistake. But I'm going to make an attempt at good faith discussion.
I am 1000% anti bougie AI. And would be a proud Luddite, marching into the data centers with a hammer to smash the servers and power distribution. AI used to displace, exclude, or oppress people. Or AI that is a detriment to the environment. That is the problem.
Or is it this community stance that all AI regardless of what it is or what it does is somehow bad. Say if you could run your own natural language AI assistant efficiently on a piece of hardware that you own. To help you stay organized or assist with simple verbal tasks. Is that also bad? Because otherwise everything @Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com said seems pretty reasonable.
News Flash!
AI fan says deranged arguments made by another AI fan are "pretty reasonable".
In other news water is wet and the sun is hot.
That's pretty reductionist and rude. It's the same kind of shitty attitude that I'm calling them out for, and then you're just doing the same thing here.
Yep I would never really describe myself a fan of any sort of tool. That would be like describing oneself as a fan of hammers, or pencils. They're very useful tools. But I'm not sure I'm a fan of them like in a general concept sense LOL.
It's all about the application. A pencil can be used to inspire and express oneself, or oppress. I would be a fan of the former but not of the latter. A hammer can be used to build shelter for the needy, or to murder. Again I would be a fan of the former but not the latter. But not a fan of pencils or hammers themselves it really is kind of a silly argument.
