    I made a generalization based on the abundance of comments from people saying they don’t want AI. Your desires may not be the desires of the majority of users.

    Or maybe it’s just a common fallacy. Like argumentum ad populum.

    It’s not. Saying a bunch of people don’t want something because a bunch of people are saying they don’t want it isn’t argumentum ad populum. I never made an assessment about whether AI was good or bad.

    If you want to argue that Lemmy doesn’t represent users at large, or that the people complaining about AI are a loud minority, go for it. But the vast majority of comments on anything AI related seem opposed to it.

      Yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing. Though specifically this community, not Lemmy as a whole (I’m not a Lemmy user myself for that matter).
