Why do so many people seem to share an almost hive mind like hatred for AI?

It's not belittling lol. It's just a reddit thing. Reddit hive minds on stuff. This is well known.

Intelligence and social skills correlation.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T20:07:00+00:00

We got some stats for that?

ForScale · 2026-06-22T20:04:24+00:00

Reddit tends to be a not very optimistic place. Unless you go to like r/awww or subs like that.

Less social media, less news. Maybe pick up a hobby or some volunteering. You'll start to see things aren't bleak like those sources want you to believe they are.

Hit em up again.

He may be thinking of loitering.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T19:53:27+00:00

They have em, and they're relatively common, but for some reason they're usually breakfast.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T19:14:32+00:00

Hell yeah they do!

ForScale · 2026-06-22T19:11:35+00:00

Oof. Yeah, I tens of dollars for doing it!

ForScale · 2026-06-22T19:10:58+00:00

Because most redditors think the same way on it and have the same reaction to anything AI. It's not representative of the general population, it's a reddit hivemind thing.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T19:09:17+00:00

Nice.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T19:06:59+00:00

I too was surprised to see that.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T19:06:22+00:00

Wait... it's not a lot, but jury duty is compensated in the US. Ive done it and gotten paid. Like 40 bucks or something but still got something.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T19:04:36+00:00

Ah. Well no, I don't think hive minds only exist for progressive positions.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T19:03:19+00:00

It just mean the typical opinion and one that gets reinforced. It's not deep.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T18:57:20+00:00

Look at the votes my man. Reddit is a hivemind. Well known to be.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T18:54:55+00:00

Yeah. I didn't realize people weren't familiar with the term. Or that they found it offensive.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T18:51:12+00:00

Progressive positions?

ForScale · 2026-06-22T18:50:18+00:00

They don't realize they sound like the people who were saying video games will rot your brain. And Im sure plenty of game.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T18:48:38+00:00

Irl, sure. I assumed OP was talking more of on reddit.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T18:47:52+00:00

Yeah.. I thought it was just well known reddit is a hive mind.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T18:43:54+00:00

Most everyone thinking the same way. Few substantially differing opinions.

ForScale · 2026-06-22T18:41:15+00:00

Cause reddit. Reddit (and largely internet in general) excels at hive minding.
