"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

Do Lemmy threads end up on search engines?
My god I hope not.
Why wouldn't they? You don't even have to be logged in to view them.
You should never assume anything you post publicly online is at all private or hidden from any search engine/AI.
@OwOarchist @Rhoeri Unlike AI crawlers, search engines generally respect robots.txt and noindex tags, which will tell them not to index or surface those pages in search results. This is how fediverse profiles which have chosen to opt out of internet search indexes do so.
You should still assume things you post in public with no auth required are public of course.
Does robots.txt really work in the fediverse? At least on lemmy, the content can be retrieved on different hosts, all of which have different robots.txt files. Unless it is somehow "baked" into the protocol.
Could you imagine someone legitimately looking some shit up and having trash from lemmy.ml be the result?
The world isn’t really for that level of misinformation.
As if the general level of misinformation online isn't already several orders of magnitude worse than anything on lemmy.ml.
misinformation > smug and arrogant misinformation
I don't know about that... smug and arrogant at least turns a lot of people off.
Regular misinformation flies under the radar.
🙄
If you search Fluxer (that Discord alternative people are raving about) on DDG, a programming.dev link is on the first page.
Even on DuckDuckGo search results are user tailored. I don't see anything fedi on my first page.
