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.

It seems like you're exploring how AI spam spreads and how people handle it online. Your observation about AI content being spread through personal accounts and broader communities is an important consideration for ethical AI development.
...jk lmao that was AI-gen. I think blocking accounts is good enough? At least that's what I tend to do. Although it'd be helpful to have some sort of community-driven list of accounts that you could automatically import and block. Actually it would be helpful with more than AI spammers: we could have a list of trolls, lgtbq+phobes, etc. That way one could easily find and block whatever they don't like, without getting the mods or admins involved (although that'd still be necessary for obvious rule violations, of course).
I don't understand why you say that's prone to blocking people who are bashing AI though... like, if they spam AI content I imagine they tend to praise AI as well? Idk, maybe I didn't understand you.
Exactly this. For example, CMU is currently under the extreme corrupting influence of Palantir. However when CMU pushes AI propaganda, the various outlets adjust their headlines to frame it for clicks, whether that be "AI is WRONG 60% of the time! That's why we need to use it anyway." or "AI is RIGHT 40% of the time! Does that mean it has a soul???"
These shitty articles then end up everywhere and CMU gets to spread their propaganda to people who have whatever range of opinions.
2nd time on this thread you've insinuated someone will mess with me if i don't be quiet :3
