>If my grandmother had wheels, would she be a bike?
I know I shouldn't be so snarky here, but your question is basically "would AI still be hated if AI wasn't AI?" Or "what if we had magic?"
My opinion: honestly, no. People hate LLMs because of the slop they produce on the internet and their use as a tool for surveillance, not even for the outrageous cost it takes to produce it and the financial criminality to keep it going.
Ed Zitron is the biggest voice in "our sane fringe" and yet he really doesn't focus on these immediate consumer-side effects because in the grand scheme they're inconsequential and actually (as in: mechanicistically) *temporary*.
There are some (uninformed) peopke who think the data centers are the only bad thing about the LLM Bubble, but anyone who's actually put the thought in knows that making *less hurdles* to proliferation is a *bad thing.*

It's a good thing tbh. The world used to laugh at America for our portion sizes

You can very easily downgrade to Win10 and there's a sizable community on r/LinuxOnAlly but it's also Microsoft/XBox so what else do you expect? Still beats giving Valve 45% more money so GabeN can buy another yacht company and sell kids gamble boxes.

ROG Ally is measurably better in every category and cheaper

Indeed. Not saying that adult women don't face sexist harassment and that that isn't a problem to solve, but kids shouldn't be on social media in the first place. Not to mention that social media is 90% bots anyway. The majority of the blame here falls on the parents.

Oh I get it! Because Israel had him shot in the neck and he's dead (many such cases)

Nobody wants to live in Florida so this was a retarded prediction in the first place

Not really an opinion though, is it?

That isn't true. A Plex pass from the server owner will cover access for all users

You can selfhost for free however you want but software developers have the right to ask for money to use their software. I selfhost about 60tb of media and have paid for Plex monthly for about 10 years now. They are *still* so far above the competition for ease-of-use that I wouldn't even consider switching at this point, even to save $7/month.

~~Unpopular *preference*, maybe? I've worked the title a few times but can't get it phrased as a concise opinion. Regardless, I think it still fits the spirit of the group.~~
SMS Texting in 2025 sucks. The overwhelming majority of "unknowns" texting me are marketing BS (that I didn't sign up for), scams, and other junk. It's almost at the same state that calling was ~10 years ago. Even besides that, texting a friend/family member to have a conversation feels so... wasteful? It's something I used to do and now never would. Anecdote: I also barely respond to texts at this point unless it's a direct question, "I'm at the store, do we need milk?" "Yes." Even still, half the time I'd just call them to say "yes." According to my cellular provider, I've sent 16 SMS messages since March 25th.
If I'm trying to contact someone, I always just call them unless I know they won't pick up and have told others to do the same with me.
Counterpoint to this is that some people think it's rude to cold-call, which is fair, but I have a good enough relationship with the people I keep regular contact with so that they know they can just call back at their own decision. Other than that, I'm only calling businesses/customer support, so it's a moot point.

I think AI is still too new to have an ethical consensus by philosophers but my own take:
Personal use? Go for it cowboy
Commercial use? Hire a real artist
