Fuck AI

"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.

I'm not as anti-AI as the rest of this place but I am 100% in favor of being honest about it.

I found a mod passing off AI generated images as authentic, vintage sci-fi covers. I asked why they were mixing them together and was not only banned but they deleted my comment.

What a fucking douche.

I already have him blocked because of his low quality content, so apparently that was good judgment.

His reasoning for creating fake content is that lemmy needs more content.

no dumbass, it needs more quality content to make up for your shitty content.

Lemmy needs more content

He really believes machine-generated content will bring in more humans? What an absurd logic.

Isn’t that one of Universal Monk’s alts?

[–] imeansurewhynot@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

dunno, i blocked him too. i have most of the spammers blocked.

I think so, I've had him tagged as such for a long while.

Hah, this dude's a Zizian?

So what you’re saying is that @Papaskwat@lemmy.today is a dishonest individual?

Cool, fucker is now blocked.

AI has a place but the majority do not know how to use to correctly. Their ignorance is the problem hence they are a problem. :/

Personally, AI slop posters get a tag instead of a block from me so that I can downvote/comment whenever I come across their content.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 14 points 1 week ago

I quickly got banned for just downvoting the ones I saw come up in my feed.

Wouldn't be his first report of being a PTB. He literally thinks being downvoted is trolling, but such lunacy is to be expected of a Zizian.

Kind of sad that they can't see what they are doing is rather selfish of them. They seem to justify it by saying its harmless fun, but I don't see how intentionally mixing in Ai images with authentic images is anything but malicious. It probably doesnt help Ai "leaders" like elon musk and Prager U are doing the same thing and just replacing history with weird racist the south won the war shit. So these people don't see how destructive they are to the internet, because the people they look up to spit on the internet daily. I can only assume hes a elon fan due to the heavy space themes.

They also don't see themselves as pro ai or anti Ai, but just a person existing inbetween the precieved "drama" which is kind of an easy out for being a shitty person and not having to justify their actions.

I think a person like this is just selfish and would steal candy from a baby if that was their favorite candy. Kind of like the inability to think of someone else, due to the obsession about the self.

From my experience, the majority of people saying "Oh I don't have an opinion about AI" are the ones excessively talking with ChatGPT.

I don't mind GenAI posts myself, but they should be clearly tagged as such which isn't hard to do.

Collection of authentic niche communities > drowning in slop.

Oh that's just universal monk /mod of a thousand names being him.

PapaSkwat @ lemmy.today and the community spacetech@lemmy.today - which I'm about to block.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

lol, I downvoted a few of those (no posts, no comments, only votes) and was promptly banned from all of that mod's subs for it.

Not only a slop peddler, but a very thin-skinned one as well.

[–] MathiasTCK@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No comments, just votes got you banned?
