In my opinion, AI just feels like the logical next step for capitalist exploitation and destruction of culture. Generative AI is (in most cases) just a fancy way for cooperations to steal art on a scale, that hasn’t been possible before. And then they use AI to fill the internet with slop and misinformation and actual artists are getting fired from their jobs, because the company replaces them with an AI, that was trained on their original art. Because of these reasons and some others, it just feels wrong to me, to be using AI in such a manner, when this community should be about inclusion and kindness. Wouldn’t it be much cooler, if we commissioned an actual artist for the banner or find a nice existing artwork (where the licence fits, of course)? I would love to hear your thoughts!
Instead of walking in with a brand new account with some large topic and then bitch about getting called out as a troll.
Try actually starting with a normal question, make some friends. Actually try to look like a normal God damn person. Not a carefully curated caricature of a human.
You are either insanely tone deaf to how online communities work. Or exactly what your being called.
There’s nothing wrong with being tone deaf, we all have to learn at some point. But you can’t say your not then complain when the only other option is also not to your liking.
post with a score of 181 currently … kinda difficult to argue that someone asking a question as politely as possible, and getting a lot of agreement that the question is worth asking, is simply trolling.
Well, of course everyone that disagrees with these people is a bot, lol
Someone in this thread is using bots to support an anti-ai statement. I don’t know if you or other person, that I don’t know. But I’m almost sure about bot usage.
Using bots to oppose AI is hilarious btw.
How would you know that?
Voting patters. screw up relations between votes and comments. Buch of votes coming in at particular points in time. Comments that were being upvoted for hours suddenly getting 30 downvotes at once. It’s pretty obvious.
I’ve been on the lookout as it’s not the first time this happen with anti-AI gang. I have been suspicious about bot usage by some user on this topics for some time. So I’ve been comparing post where people talk about AI and other posts and the voting patterns are all different.
This could as well be just old classic brigading. But with brigading you usually get more one line comments, when it’s just the votes it’s usually bots.
