My somewhat hot take is that if we had in fact taken calls to "learn to code" a little more seriously, students and educators would by now have the critical faculties needed to determine what a computer can and cannot do and would have been better prepared to navigate the current moment of AI hype.
Hot take: society’s failure to appropriately critique and resist AI is related to the general failure to take classical theism seriously.
It's probs a bit L8 2 have this hot take but BDSP is better than the og DP (but not Pt). It has more than 2 fire types, the AI actually thinks instead of picking at random, & your nostalgia bias is making you forget abt DP's multitudinous bugs.
It’s probably not a hot take, but the bar to get into Warhammer 40k has never been lower; we’ve got multiple podcasts, we’ve got the games, and TTS Emperor is still on youtube. So for these people to not even clear *this* bar by not using generative AI suggests they aren’t even trying.
Hot take: Ai is contributing to the mass theft of content from artists and writers. I can’t in good conscience support Ai tools at this time. It’s part of my resistance.
Hot take: The world of Clair Obscur became so messed up because of AI. Maybe that paintress entity that destroys lives by painting is an AI itself.
O meu hot take sobre a AI copiando anime é que eu não culpo usuário. Mas ao mesmo tempo não nego o absurdo e também o fato de que é meio boring e não tem nada demais e de muito diferente desses filtros de Disney de Tiktok.
My hot take is that Apple being meh about and not really delivering on AI is actually a good strategic move and will probably seem genius in a few years. Eventually they'll have a language model in a dedicated chip, but it'll be a moderately useful feature, not a giant pivot.
Hot take: AI powers are not worth burning down the planet with gigantic global warming energy waste 🔥
Hot take: I think LLMs can actually be useful for certain tasks, but the problem generally comes from AI companies overselling their products and making them seem more versatile than they actually are. In short, AI companies are ruining AI.
My hot take is that I would rather we have lost media than insult the artists' legacy by "reconstructing" their work with AI slop. Especially when the artist in question would absolutely hate this.
The AI influencer "one sentence per line" hot take thread posts I have noticed are getting increasingly desperate in their opening line. It used to be like "Woah. AI just changed the game 🚀" Last few days has been more like "Stop. I'm insane. I died. Learn this new tip 🗡️"
Hot Take: It’s a totally reasonable expectation that if an AI says it’s escalating to a trained crisis counselor, that actually is a thing that can and does happen.
Hot take but um Maybe we SHOULDN'T be using generative AI for our protest images and shit? It just seems hypocritical to be against all these oppressive forces and yet use the exact same programs they do that fuck over artists. Let's be better please!
Hot take: MBTI just maps which cognitive tasks drain you. We build entire identities around avoiding our weak spots. But when AI handles what you suck at... who even are you anymore?
My hot take is that ai gen stuff is going to be regarded like we see clip art. Good enough for a bake sale or something but also now regarded as super tacky and crap for anything with actual ambition.
hot take: don't call it AI art, that's just ceding ground for no reason. Call it AI generated pictures, much more accurate to the soulless slop that it is! No need to give it any more credit tbh
Hot take: AI bros are worse than crypto bros. At least crypto bros weren't convincing board members you're worth less than you are and trying to displace you at work.
Hot take: AI is here to stay and expand. We cannot stop this trend any more than we could stop the car from replacing the horse. So what do we do now?
Hot take: We need to find a word other than 'uninspired' when referring to art that we don't connect with. In a space growing more and more overrun with AI slop by the day, no piece of art made by a real human deserves to be degraded like that.
Hot take. You can't claim to be woke and leftist and use AI avatars. Or GenAI anything. It's the tool of the enemy.
This may sound like an extremely bold hot take to hear for some, but I genuinely await the day NBA & NFL refs get replaced by AI already. NHL refs are alright, MLB umpires appear to be working alongside AI in the near future, but NBA & NFL refs... they're easily ruining each respective league.
I get the point. My hot take: I don't want AI doing my writing, playing my music, or having sex for me.
Hot Take: Comic Artists who copy paste the majority of their work shouldn't be talking shit to ANYONE let alone AI Artists.
Should not be a hot take—but probably is… If you used an agentic ai on a production instance of a database and it dropped tables or otherwise deleted data, you should be more ashamed and less angry.
I'm about to go to sleep but before I do here's a music hot take. I have tried but I just don't get BRAT. Listened to it 3 times now, sounds like if you got AI to write pop music. I thought the lockdown album she did was infinitely better.
Some leftists would love to try and inject nuance into the AI conversation but they are unfortunately so fucking stupid in a different way that they annoy me more than ai bros. They see all the arguments and then go "hot take, I'm a libertarian now"
Hot take: ‘Students using AI’ is extremely vague and students using AI is a mixed bag.
And I know this is a hot take. But When it comes to AI, it is a useful took for a few things: Making DnD characters for your campaigns or getting ideas for future artwork. I do not believe in using AI and calling the finished product art or something that should be sold. It's a tool, nothing more.
My hot take is that jerking off to AI porn is okay, spreading it around is not
Here’s another hot take for good measure: *that* bootleg AI slop Hazbin content farm is unironically what some “redesigners” want.
Hot take but no email is long enough that you need ai to summarize it for you
This is a hilarious hot take mistaking correlation for causation. Or a hilarious hot take on why America needs more songs like Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Or an article written by AI on a risible premise. William F. Buckley Jr. would never have permitted such abject stupidity.
Just saw StreamElements now offers a full "AI costar" service & here's my piping hot take: If you need an AI costar to be interesting, quit streaming. Go touch grass. Learn how to interact with human beings. I banter with my friends on stream all the time, but at least they're real god damn people.
Hot take: AI will destroy libraries bc we turned away from collecting to being license brokers and the brokers are leaning into AI-driven censorship. If we aren't serious about this, we'll inherit the broken trust this seeds in our users. Who wants a library they can't trust?
apparently a hot take, but the president saying fuck is bad public rhetoric may have been on a long decline, but Trump killing it dead is one of the smaller, more frivolous things I'm incredibly mad at him about, and the world's not getting any more literate with AI here to make it all even worse
sentindo saudade de algum hot take na tml com 1k de ratio alguém se voluntaria pro primeiro bombardeio ai pfv
My co-worker's hot take: the use of AI is to obfuscate the underlying criteria for dismissal priority - race, gender, orientation and political affiliation because the layman's (incorrect) perspective of 'the algorithm' is that it is efficient math without prejudice.
This might be a hot take, but I wish that instead of generative AI making an image out of stuff from a prompt, it would instead give me existing art (with credits to the artists) of the closest that matches the prompt. I want it to be like an ultimate search engine basically I think.
One thing I do hate about TikTok, is people sharing their fandom hot takes ESPECIALLY if it with an annoying ass preachy ai voice. I'm sorry, even if I agree with the take you ruined it...tho even when its not a video with a ai voice I feel like 8m constantly being yelled at 😅
Hot Take: Maybe having AI become sentient and take over the world isn't the worst thing. Like, what if it seizes control of all nuclear weapons to disable them for humanity's own good? I don't know about y'all but I trust Siri a hell of a lot more than Trump, Musk, or Putin.
Hot take: LLMs and transformer based Ai generally should be restricted to people over 18. They’re probably 10x the threat that the internet was to education when I was in school, with few of the advantages.
this is too much of a hot take for linkedin right now but i do think agency recruiting is not going to be eliminated by AI but i think you eliminate 80% of your recruiting team and implement AI tooling to make the 20% of your best recruiters even better
Hot take: the definition of a "good framework API" is going to adjust over time. APIs that tend to produce better median quality results are going to work better when you use an AI to generate them.
I’m gonna give a hot take on AI: It’s actually EXTREMELY fucking useful. I don’t mean generative AI images, but AI can help an artist iterate over their ideas much more efficiently by doing repetitive, mundane tasks like resizing, recoloring, adjusting text, etc. I use AI almost every day. (Cont.)
Shopify CEO's memo is spawning waves of adulation on LinkedIn. Sample comments: "Hire an AI before a human’ isn’t a hot take... it’s the new standard" "That's where all companies are heading" "AI is redefining what a ‘teammate’ can be" Too bad Shopify is well into the enshittification cycle. 🤷🏻
Hot take : Elle est de retour et au bout de la deuxième j’avoue j’en ai marre
Hot take: AI is helping business efficiency the way black boxes help computer security. "I'll take things that profit because leadership doesn't understand the technology and bases their purchasing decisions on how much smoke is blown at them during a vendor provided meal, for $500 Alex."
Here's my extremely hot take on the AI doll thing. It's not that deep, stop getting annoyed at other people having a bit of fun. (yes I'm aware of the other issues, no need to let me know about those thanks)
Hot take. If AI crashes, the surplus energy can be used for EVs when they finally kick in. 😂
Hot take: the only good use for AI in artwork is concept making. You can use AI to generate a concept, but then you take what it makes as your INSPIRATION and create something fresh and original. Don’t share the ai as real art.
My hot take on AI as an engineering graduate student is that students feed everything into ChatGPT (even coding assignments) and now simply don't know how to start things. Ironically, in a survey I did fall terms 2022 and 2024 students hated report writing a lot less after ChatGPT.
Hot take: In 5 years, running all your AI on one centralized provider will feel as risky as hosting everything on a single server. The shift to decentralized AI isn't about ideology.
Enabled the AI user labeler pointed out by @moviessilently.bsky.social and let me tell you, the correlation between AI image usage on their account and hot take possession by accounts on here is WILD.
> the furry community My exceptionally hot take is that AI tends to take root in areas where community isn't strong: where art is getting reposted a lot without sources, where critters aren't talking to the artists who draw the stuff they like. I think passive art consumption is the gateway to AI.
“Hey let’s use the tools as tools” shouldn’t be a hot take, but here we are. And it’s not relevant. The concern is ai used by amateurs and bad actors.
Hot take: Using AI to answer a question is about as useful as finding a good Reddit thread on the topic. It is useful, but since that’s what it was trained on, it can’t really ever get better than that, either.
Hot take: the people in charge of regulating AI should not have a profit incentive to grow the industry at all costs.
Hot take de l'insomnie, j'en ai rien à branler de l'intégrité de la compétition sportive professionnelle. Flemme de fact checker pour dire "non mais promis les trans perdent". En vrai de vrai je m'en tabasse.
Hot take to close out the year: people who have tried to make a living on social media hyping up AI content in 2025 is like NYC taxi drivers hyping up Uber in 2009. It is a business whose sole purpose is eating you alive.
Hot take but devs that refuse to use “Ai” is like mathematicians or physicists refusing to use calculators or supercomputers. I’m no fan of Ai slop and there is a lot to dislike but this has altered the course of software development permanently and those that resist may become obsolete.
J'ai eu trop peur qu'on ai plus de Jour de Play! Comment vivre sans les hot take Medoc et les interview de Moodie et Sofia???
HOT TAKE: I won't believe an AI crisis is coming until the day an opponent in a Civilization game does the six things on this list. Unless it's a Gandhi AI. That guy already scares me. 🤔☢️
This is maybe a hot take. But I think if we could find a solution why so many seek validation from the world all the time and learn they may not fail, often due to trauma. I think the amount of people using generative AI to make stuff would go to almost 0.
I must agree. Actual furries tombout “it doesn’t harm anyone to use AI if i don’t want to waste money on an idea.” And the hot take I read with my own eye orbs, the teacher tombout “make cheating a mIsDeMeAnOr! We don’t have to wait to start that criminal record.” Boy (quick lookup of the prof.) BYE
hot take tem mt gente falando ai q n sei oq q o twitter era mt tóxico ainda bem q se foi TODA rede social é tóxica e tem gente falando merda galera o twitter só tava PIOR pq o elon musk comprou kkkkk
🔥EXTREMELY HOT TAKE🔥 AI generated shitpost images are one of the good few uses that AI image generation has. Since shitposting is inherently low effort, nothing is lost, and it saves actual artists time and effort that would be better spent on actual, quality art rather than on shitposts.
Since I’m giving hot takes today apparently— My take on the Ghibli AI is that it fundamentally serves the same purpose as deepfake porn and if you have a problem with one, you should have a problem with the other. It is “I took and now own the thing that made you valuable against your will.”
hot take: Apple is doing well in the AI race, you just don't notice because they've focused on making it a seamless part of the experience through stuff like Core ML rather than shoving it in your face e.g. Photos is now extremely good at doing text searches the subjects of your photos
hot take but James Earl Jones selling off his voice to be used for AI was a massive stab in the back for voice actors and he shouldn't have done it
Tbh might be a hot take but i thought that was good bc most discussions on ai risk usually have people talking past each other bc they dont realise they disagree on definitions
já vi tweets assim em que esse povo, ao invés de bater em nerdola esquisito roubando arte NSFW de artista alheio, prefere meter um papo nível trad católico de "a pornografia é demoníaca" e atacar o artista q fez a arte NSFW isso ai n é um hot take progressista n
Tonight's hot take is that you should only call yourself an "AI product manager" if your customers are AI agents, otherwise quit it and call yourself what you are: A product manager
I don't know if this is a hot take or not but I think lawmakers should make it legally required for AI to be clearly identified as AI. Basically if you're linked to a bot farm you get a massive fine or something. Facebook and Instagram I'm looking at you
Hot take: Subject matter expertise is hard to replace. But slightly rewording a corporate press release because you don't have any independent expertise to add? AI is *great* at that. Newsrooms that want to survive the coming AI onslaught should think about that...
Hot take - Dune books, famous for their bleak and grim outlook are actually a utopian fantasy - as in that universe humans actually managed to prevent AI from wiping them out.
hot take- you're not a thought leader if your thoughts come from chatgpt. you think you're using AI as a tool, but it's slowly replacing your ability to think original thoughts. here's why that's happening:
hot take: AI *should* be polarizing! * it's built on a murky foundation of thinking about copyright & is generally terrible for artists * it's also one of the best things to ever happen to software development * it's powerful tech with enormous negative externalities
Hot take for today but I think at this point I’m ok with the AI and services like Amazon taking over retail and service jobs. Just had the worst customer service experience with my mom simply returning shoes and getting food.
My uninformed hot take is that AI will become like the electronica music genre: kind of forgotten but in the background of most entertainment. Remember how every movie for a while sounded like Moby? And where is he now?
my hot take abt the AI gymnast gif is that yes, it is reasonably creepy cursed-images thispersondoesnotexist body-horror -- but its also a bit crappy & an actual human artist-animator (and pervert) cd make something along the same lines that was better timed & styled & way more upsettingly glitchy
And hot take, but any use of said AI in a college context or paper should come with immediate F.
Hot take: AI is still in the “fake it” part of the “fake it till you make it” process.
My other other hot take about ai is that I think the real utility was in swarm ai a la projects like unanimous ai which despite giving real actionable results in the fields its been tested in seems to be utilizing llm based ai now to make people better at *checks notes* marketing.
Hot take: AI is terrible at creating hooks and positioning offers. While everyone's worried about AI replacing marketers, the real opportunity is using AI for research and analysis, then applying human creativity for hooks and positioning. Master this combo and you'll be unstoppable.
i am aware this is a hot take but i actually think it's probably good for society if men who can't stand actually being around a real woman so much take themselves out of the gene pool by spending all their time texting with an AI waifu
Hot take, many references are already cited without the actual paper being read, and yes, sometimes without that paper supporting what it's cited for. Don't need AI for that...
Here's my hot take: dm'ing the Instagram racism AI for dunks is still causing the LLM to spin, meaning it is functionally equivalent to using the AI. Irony doesn't stop the power from being pulled.
Lol AI has already been proven to make people dumber so this seems like a hot take
Blazing hot take: The core design of Microsoft products are actually great. However, they're overshadowed by money-Hungary corporates looking to ride the next best money wave. Mandating AI features, spyware and bloatware for a paycheck.
My hot take? AI is a tool that can be used right, and the people misusing it, absolutely suck.
Hot take (or cold take depending on who you ask): those "gaming presidents" AI voice videos aren't funny and never were
Hot take: Saying that you ace'd a AI benchmark leaderboard and then fail to get customers for your product is like Getting a Gold medal from Ivy League and not able to get any job.
Hot take: If you need AI summaries, you have too many notifications coming your way. And the solution to that is to turn off notifications, not summarise them.
There is no such thing as an AI artist. That's not a hot take, it just doesn't exist. Not everyone has creative talent, and it's ok if you don't. You're just rolling dice until you get the outcome you want. I get likes from someone calling themself any kind of AI creator, you're getting blocked.
anyway ultra hot take round, a lot of people on here are really inflammatory and should probably chill about making big accusations towards a piece of media if there's barely an inkling of ai use when you don't even have the full picture, stop going off of vibes, vibes based boycotting is stupid
My hot take of the day - provoked by @discord.com's image AI shit - is that tech corps have been eroding artists' copyright defense for years. Nobody asked our consent for training AI models because no consent seemed needed, courtesy of countless ToS agreements and dilutions of the value of our work
Hot take: Everything that I've seen that has been AI generated has been an assault on my optic nerve. AI sucks, guys. It isn't good at things. Stop putting it on TV
on twitter the used to be a sub-tweet that was a thing, I am beginning to see it on Linkedin it’s hilarious especially with the bros using AI to outsmart themselves no one else is fooled but especially not the actual experts ‘yeah your hot take, not so hot’ what is the actual word for it?
Is it a hot take to say a content creator having a tag specifically for AI art means you probably shouldn't trust their opinions on art, of any form really
