Can we all agree on this one thing, that most people hate ai, but the bots on lemmy are an acception since they bring life to the communities when activities dries up. (self.technology)

most people hate ai

I don't think that's true. There's a lot of concern about it -- particularly regarding companies scraping the everloving shit out of the internet and then reselling what they got for free; with it upending the apple cart on difficulty of production (and what that means for various professions); with people using it idiotically in inflexible, unauditable, bureaucratic ways (though they were already doing that "computer says 'No'" thing even without the new AI techniques; it's a broader social challenge that involves any computerized processing of people in 2023); etc. -- but people are using it as a tool to do really neat things too, and a lot of the results from that are just fun.

Here's a few examples of fun AI visual art from threads I've seen over the last few weeks:

This entire thread is fun if you want more: Your username is the prompt, what did you get?

For some of these, something similar might have been made eventually (the spiderman one, in particular, I could see actually existing), but for most of them? Nah. Without AI gen they probably just never would've been made, and that'd be a shame!

It might not or mightt be true, I know a lot of artist hate it, you'd be hard pressed to not find any that does not like ai, not saying that no one out of these groups could not appreciate it. I do think ai can be great, but it's all over the internet, that people just don't like ai. Might even be 50-50 60-40 who knows, but it's still a noticable amount.
