Look man. Beans are dumb but that dumb shit still has more personality and effort than AI slop. (Although a lot of that WAS AI which sucks.) If you’re encouraging/stepping back from trying to rid the Internet of this AI slop infection, then you’re part of the problem, especially since you’re in a position to actually do something. It’s a shame you aren’t. It’s hard for me to watch every single fucking community just turn into AI generated bullshit.
Anyway, you clearly have no interest in hearing my point of view so whatever. I appreciate that you spend time modding these communities. I really do. But I wish you’d change your stance on AI. It’s ruining everything and reinforcing Dead Internet Theory. Also a lot of people Do NOT like the AI bullshit so it’s not like everyone is good with it…
One day you’ll realize that the communities you moderate are just fucking bad, and AI will be to blame. When that happens I hope you’ll understand that you could have done something.
My dude. I don’t think you’re fully aware of the scope here.
To give context, decades ago, people were saying the same shit about Photoshop.
Before that, it was digital printing in general. Decades before that, photography. Same for other media. Special effects in TV and Movies. Hell, motion pictures. Go even further back, you’ve got the Luddites. If you’re not familiar with those poor bastards, give the subject a read.
There’s no real fight against this tide you see coming. This “AI infection.” Technology progresses regardless. Like every complexity in life, there are good and bad effects, and whether we like it is irrelevant in the grander scheme. The Luddites got absolutely fucked, and the industrial revolution kept churning.
But let’s table that discussion of “if I can do something”, and get to “why”.
a lot of people Do NOT like the AI bullshit
That’s fair. I am often one of them. But why should I value these opinions more than those of others? We already have a system for people to express those opinions. It’s the voting system. And unless something violates our very, very tiny ruleset, I have no reason to intervene. If enough people want to change that rule set, then we’ll discuss it and make the changes.
But until then, let’s let people post their shit. Some might like it.
