I appreciate it. I’ve had little luck engaging people in conversation about AI research in general. Since abandoning reddit, I’ve been litmus testing other platforms. I’m afraid this puts lemmy at about a 12. /shrug. Still better than reddit.
I couldn’t think of a worse platform to try and discuss this topic than Lemmy. The consensus here is essentially that big companies = bad, AI companies = big, and thus AI = bad.
Well, I’m on Lemmy myself, so perhaps that’s some sort of an indication of where I prefer to discuss thing with people in general, not just about AI. My list of blocked users is rather vast though, so a big part of the loudest haters are being filtered out from my feed. That surely contributes to the better experience here - or atleast less bad.
Definitely prefered it over there at reddit, but I’m a man of principle so I’m not going back either.

Know of any good platforms for this, by chance?
No, but probably the dedicated subreddit
You’d think, but not really. /r/chatgpt and a couple AI art subs are the only active ones. And “active” means bots and parrots in this case.

Maybe ycombinator? Just look for places where grifters and marks meet up.
