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!

    Well, but you are not of an opposing ideology, your sub is called “ask Lemmy”, not “ask AI obsessed people”, so your definition doesn’t even make sense. I honestly don’t understand why you people insist on painting me in such a negative light, just because I am new. That is called bullying by the way. I didn’t even intend this thread to blow up in such a way, I guess a lot of people seem to care.

      “ask AI obsessed people”

      This you? You use bad faith arguments and ad hominem and you’ll get the same back.

      Yes, who knew AI was such a hot button issue on social media? /s

      It seems incredibly unlikely that you could be unaware of the the volatility of the topic while also parroting all of the anti-ai talking points. Your mask is slipping.

      Notice how the community is also not called “ask Anti-AI obsessed people”. I’m sure that name is free, you may like to create such space, and stop trying to discriminate other people.

        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.

            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.

                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.
