Just leaving a feedback comment about the replies on this thread: I am surprised that people in this community disliked such a breakthrough in AI technology.
Downvotes aren’t supposed to be used just because you don’t like, or personally disagree with something, but regardless, when a post makes the front page you’re going to be getting comments from people not subscribed to the community.
It’s true that there are no official guidelines on the use of upvotes and downvotes, but if they are used to bury comments and posts just because they don’t align with your personal opinion, Lemmy is at risk of becoming a circle jerk and an echo chamber and I think that would be a great shame.
Above all else we should be encouraging participation, I don’t want to think that there are potentially great posts and comments out there but that people aren’t posting them because they’re worried about downvotes. The freedom of expression means that on occasion you might have to read things that make you uncomfortable and that’s OK.
Maybe I’m only speaking for myself, but as far as I’m aware my opinion isn’t unique and I’m absolutely not here for a circle jerk or an echo chamber, they were my least favourite things about Reddit.
I’m aware of how people use downvotes in reality as opposed to how they would use them ideally in my opinion, I just think it would be a bit of a shame to end up where we left off if we have the opportunity to improve, especially if it means that new or controversial ideas are shared more freely and debate is a lot more open.

Put that back in your pants, this is no breakthrough
A lot of people have a hate boner for AI. They’re not interested in AI news, they just see AI and downvote.
Yeah, but that’s okay. What’s strange is the negative feedback in a community that specifically covers topics about AI.

See the “fuck cars” community for example.
