I get that AI is a bad thing. But I just can't bring myself to care that much. With all the genuinely evil happening, with the US turning into Nazi Germany, AI is so far down on the list of bad things happening right now.

AI is but one tool in the apparatus of the modern fascist state.

Yup, these things are not as separate as OP might think they are... Palantir (and technically Persona) is literally run by a Nazi (I don't care what he calls himself, he's doing Nazi shit).

I would argue it is THE tool, since a handful of tech engineers own and control our entire economy almost independently of the government.

TACO is a fascist figurehead.

I don't think most people here know what fascism is.

AI is being used to make the current US decent into Nazi Germany, so the two things are very much linked OP.

(Anonymous) 2026-04-18 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
AI is making all these bad things worse and they all feed into each other. Misinformation, political corruption, dumbing-down of the public, destabilization of the economy, surveillance state, and energy consumption.

AI was never the source of the problem. Like when AI data centers worsened the issues with nitrate pollution, and everyone said the data centers were the bad thing, not the farms that were actually causing the pollution. Or when people complain about AIs being used to make racist judgments, when they were fed data from humans who made racist judgments.

So, guns don't kill people, people kill people?

What about people complaining about protected federal lands being sold off for data centers? Or people complaining about the reciprocal agreements politicians are making with their cronies for the data centers? Or the people whose personal data and protected works were stolen to fuel generative AI?

Thank you! Like AI is not inherently evil actually, it's just a tool. It can be used for a lot of good things, in addition to the bad stuff. I feel like I'm going crazy when I see how hyper-polarized people online are about like, the technology itself rather than PEOPLE using it in bad ways.

If you care about the descent into fascism, maybe start caring about how The Machine That Thinks For You makes people WORSE AT THINKING and therefore MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FURTHER FASCISM?

I am genuinely concerned about this. Like seriously worried about what is going to happen to humanity in the future.

(Anonymous) 2026-04-18 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
The internet is almost unusable right now. I can only find non-AI slop websites if I specify pre-2022. I can't believe wikihow has become weirdly reliable.

Ao3 is flooded with AI fic too. There are plenty of ways it's causing bullshit just on an everyday level.

(Anonymous) 2026-04-19 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I've basically given up on imgur at this point. It used to be... well, not a great place, but much better than what it is now, overrun with AI porn ads when it's not breaking every other hour.

I'm only tolerating YT because of adblockers (and everybody is fucking stupid and refuses to go anywhere else... including me).

Haven't noticed that about AO3 but then I don't read much fic these days, and when I do, it's from known authors.

(Anonymous) 2026-04-18 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I get what you're saying, but the placement of data centers near poor and POC communities is kinda an example of the Nazi shit going. And our President making AI crap.

WOW

(Anonymous) 2026-04-18 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if you're just misinformed, dumb, or a bot, but you do not know what the hell you're talking about.

Literal nazis are salivating at the thought of forcing AI into every facet of our lives. AI that they control and can alter whenever and however they please. Yeah, never mind. I'm leaning towards dumb.

(Anonymous) 2026-04-18 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
This was my comment. And for the record, I do think AI is very bad. I do know that it is being used for bad things and is helping the bad people in our government.

I guess right now I'm so exhausted from all the evil, that I only have brain power to focus on so much. And right now the things literally torturing and killing people and tearing apart families are the things that have my attention. Maybe someday those things will be at least less of a daily occurrence, and then I'll have the energy to be angry about AI.

until water and electricity becomes even more unstable/super expensive, I guess, huh

jesus fucking christ.....spoken like a proud USA citizen- sorry, 'american' like you call yourselves. unable to see further than the most basic problem and only caring about US. wake up, darling, AI is both the manifestation and the root of your dear country becoming (as if it hasnt been exactly like for many years now) a nazi state

(Anonymous) 2026-04-19 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
AI is cool
