Let's be honestly a lot of people hates the usage of AI, and honestly I've discovered something really serious.
You see, most of the people who use AI, use it very poorly. It's either they're completely depending on it, or they simply don't understand how it should be used.
I know a Creator on Hive who posted a lot of AI contents. They made close to 5 posts in a day, and pumped out so much AI content.
However, back then AI was so early a lot of people didn't actually know it was AI, but when people started understanding AI contents, this creator still didn't adjust their creation flow to at least add some originality to it, and they just stopped posting altogether and left the chain I think.
This creator was completely dependent on the tool, and somehow it made the content completely soulless. I loved their post back in the day about blockchain and crypto economy, but it started becoming a bit souless and it difficult for anyone to actually engage with the content.
I think a lot of people loved their content too, but gradually a lot of people stopped commenting or even consuming the content, but they kept posting and gaining the autovotes.
I think because of lack of education or just simple laziness a lot of people limit AI as a replacement when it should be a tool to sharpen creativity and make it easier to be creative. I have used some AI in the past, and I was simply blown away by what was achievable.
People can literally stop seeing AI as a replacement and their productivity generally improves. They still continue to be productive originally while being better in their craft.
They can produce better and smarter, they have access to the best tools ever and can bend this tool to personalize their creative experiences.
People can literally spot it when you've used AI poorly and this becomes sad because the output diminishes the person who is shipping this.
However it's difficult to see AI whenever people uses it correctly. The output no longer credits AI, people see the intelligent work of a person who has put in efforts. They're blown away and even if they realize you've used AI, they're no longer creating AI, all they'll see is tenacity.
I have seen this a few times; people simply loving AI outputs because the user has put in insane work to use the AI as an assistant rather than replacement.
The hatred and discrimination comes from lazy rather than intelligent usage, and this is the problem we have with the Internet in 2026.
Let's be very factual the Internet is getting better at rewarding entertainment rather than education, systems and algorithms are not built to reward what people wants and not actually what they need, and this is why a lot of people are becoming lazier at using tools, but this is also the same mechanism it uses to reward hardworking individuals. So, individuals who are also lazy do not like lazy outputs.
The fact that people cannot actually ship or produce the outputs they want doesn't mean it's they don't appreciate creativity, efforts and tenacity, and this is why the most creative people in the Internet space are constantly being rewarded everyday.
I have come to realize that people do not hate AI usage, in fact they appreciate its usage only when it's done correctly, and this is a cue for you to actually use AI correctly.
As for AI discrimination I think it'll continue to be a thing. There will be a faction of people who actually hates AI and it's usage no matter what. These people already hate it and thinks it's probably going to go extinction.
There's always going to be a faction of people who are against a form of tech advancement because it looks like a pandemic that might take away human originality. But I think AI usage is inevitable.
Even though you hate it, at some point you will use it, especially when it begins to create the feelings or establishment of unfair advantage to people in your workplace, competitors and many things like that.
AI is not like crypto, it's morphed into the essence of our living. It's at the edge of every advancement that's currently happening to us, and honestly, it's simply inevitable at this point.
