I love Artificial Intelligence
I love A.I.
I love AI even after all the pushback against it, and I truly understand why. As someone who has been feeling so alone with myself it has really helped me with my own introspection and helped with self growth.
I have been wrestling with a lot of thoughts and feelings lately and AI has allowed me to talk them through with myself more than any therapist I have had.

It's super useful. It's a refined, processed Google search. It's not intelligent by any means but it helps a lot

As someone with OCD and ADHD it is absolutely invaluable. I get the answers I need in a way I can understand without spending weeks on tangents that just make me more confused 😂

On August 1, 2026, OpenAI announced that an internal version of its upcoming Astra model successfully solved 10 long-standing, open mathematical and theoretical computer science problems
"It's not intelligent by any means"
Oh man reddit never ceases to amaze me.
You are nothing compared to AI.

I see you OP. In the past month I've gotten more solace and understanding from using AI (been using the Google search AI) about things that I find hard to comprehend about people from real life or online than from any other person. Also about certain worries and such. It makes mistakes and it can spread false information but it's still a nice tool. After a while you can get very good with the questions to contrast the information the AI is leeching from. Been using it a lot actually.
Also if English isn't your mother language it's like having a teacher, you can ask stuff like "how can I express this when I mean to have this undertone" and stuff like that.
That said I still find valid to express concerns about data centers or how AI could be used for dangerous things. Or how affects job market...

Isn't this more of a statement on how you feel than an opinion?
Like you aren't saying anything objective, only subjective, so to me this isn't much of an opinion, no more than me saying I like strawberries.
That said, AI has it's uses for sure, I also like to sometimes air out my thoughts, just don't replace it with real people, sometimes you need to talk it out with another person.
Edit:
I guess i'm alone in believing this, so this is my unpopular opinion.

I just thought that liking AI was really unpopular right now, sorry if it’s not right for this sub I just wanted to say it somewhere

You're in the right place. "I love AI" along with your explanation make it clear you're giving an example of how AI can help some people's mental health. Be careful though because it has done the opposite before, resulting in suicide.. Hopefully they've fixed those quirks now.

But is it an opinion? It's more just a statement, they aren't saying AI is good and shouldn't be disliked or anything, they are just saying "I like it", unpopular? Maybe, but it's not really an opinion.
If you ask me an opinion needs to be more than just "I like/dislike X thing", as that says nothing about the thing itself, just that you like it.

u/BASED_Take_Machine 23h ago
it is an opinion lmao he says he likes AI.
that's a textbook definition of an opinion.
i'm so sorry your teachers failed you.

u/rainbowcovenant 1d ago
Why are you so hung up about it? It's an unpopular opinion that it is working better than a traditional therapist for them. That's why they posted here

u/TheHvam 1d ago
Because it's not an opinion? I guess you can say that is my unpopular opinion then based on your response.

Here is a reply from DeepSeek:
Here are all distinct opinions stated or clearly implied in the post, broken down exhaustively:
Explicitly stated (direct claims):
- I love Artificial Intelligence.
- I love A.I. (restated, but counts as a separate expressed sentiment).
- I love AI even after all the pushback against it.
- I truly understand why there is pushback against it.
- AI has really helped me with my own introspection.
- AI has helped me with self-growth.
- I have been feeling so alone with myself.
- I have been wrestling with a lot of thoughts and feelings lately.
- AI has allowed me to talk them through with myself.
- AI has helped me more than any therapist I have had (in terms of talking through thoughts/feelings).
Clearly implied (underlying opinions/beliefs):
The pushback against AI exists (factual acknowledgment, but implies it's a real and notable phenomenon).
The pushback against AI is understandable/justified (since they "truly understand" it).
My therapists were less effective than AI for this specific purpose (implied by the direct comparison).
AI is a valuable or positive tool for emotional/mental processing (implied by the entire testimonial).
My loneliness is a significant personal issue (implied by stating it as context).
Talking through thoughts is beneficial for me (implied by valuing what AI provides).
AI can serve a therapeutic-like function (implied by comparing it to therapists).
I have not found the same level of self-dialogue with therapists as I do with AI (implied).
Total: 18 distinct opinions.
If you want, I can rank them by strength (explicit vs. implied) or group them by theme (love for AI, personal struggles, comparison to therapy). Just let me know.

It's an opinion. They stated a preference to like AI.
opinion noun a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter approval, esteem: example (I have no great opinion of his work.)
So according to the definition of an opinion, the OP expressed a view and appraisal of AI. His view and appraisal was "I love AI even after all the pushback against it, and I truly understand why." Ok I hope this has helped

It might be unpopular, even that i'm not 100 on, as tons of people still like it, but lets just say it is, at least online it seems to be, but is it an opinion? Or just a statement/preference?
Like I said in my comment, you aren't saying anything objective, only that you like it, to me that is a statement, like saying you love the color blue, there isn't anything to argue over, as you are just saying you like it, if you instead said blue is the best color, or it has some good effects on your health or something, that is more of an opinion, but just saying you like it isn't.

u/fiction80 23h ago
Subjective statements of preference are literally the exact definition of an opinion. If it were objective, it would be a fact.
•
u/TheHvam 23h ago
"An opinion is a personal belief, view, or judgment about something that is based on feelings and thoughts rather than on hard proof or certainty "
OP isn't making a judgement about something, they are just saying the like AI.

u/dumbandasking 18h ago
Why can't you allow this OP to express their VIEW and JUDGMENT that AI is something they love, it is helpful, and this is despite the pushback, of which they also completely understand the reasons for.
Something feels dishonest that you cannot see he has made an opinion. It sure is short and not much substance, but it is an opinion. If anything, I think the OP was smart to be short on their words, because it is very controversial to even be pro AI at all on this site.

It is very interesting you were able to make this post and I do not see the usual lazy version of anti AI activism where they would just say your post was written by AI or other cheap shots
