The only echo chamber I’m in is Lemmy, and playing the devil’s advocate for certain topics (e.g. AI) I feel is my personal obligation to widen it up a bit to better represent the real world, despite the floods of instant downvotes.
But that’s just part of the self-reinforcing process by which echo chambers manifest and stabilize themselves, so I don’t care.
The people here are well aware that AI slop has flooded the wider world, you’re not informing anyone of that fact. You, however, seem oblivious to the fact that there are plenty of people rejecting it.

… but that’s exactly my point!
Stressing the negative aspects would be pointless in here, as these are basically the only ones present here anyway.
So I focus more on the other side of the picture, to bring some balance back to the discussion.

I think you have it backwards. When you look at recent studies, about 60% of people overall think the benefits of AI outweigh the drawbacks.
While here on Lemmy you could get the impression, that 99% of people completely and vehemently reject it.
That’s not a good representation of the “real” world outside, and not a valid base for meaningful discussions that could provide actual insight.
