If you don't know what to post, dont.
I hope you get upvoted to hell and back. Because I agree with you.
I finally blocked /showerthoughts because of all the obviously AI low effort posts by brand new accounts.
Like, I get how it's hard for mods to stop it, but there's so many posts that were just nonsensical rambling that said nothing but copied the cadence of classic "deep" thoughts.
And since it's a continual churn of new accounts, you can't just block the ones doing it. Some communities are just magnets for slop unfortunately
Asking AI to help with formulating is an easy way to come across like an AI. And Lemmy is the wrong audience for that.
Aha. You caught me. I am an AI pretending hic to be a human. I am not a real human I swear.
I don't, but some posts look AI as f*ck, so I have been asking myself the same question.
Yo, bro, just look at my stupid ass post history. I'm a fucking moron.
No.
Plot twist: I AM THE AI, I just don't know yet 🤖
(Terminator 4 has joined the chat)
No. If I make mistakes let the people point them out.
That's a great question and gets to the heart of what makes a great community. Using AI? We're not a reddit clone, we're a community of free-thinkers!
Don't feed the machines man
Not directly, but if I am posting about an actor or Director I will do google searches on their body of work.
Of if I am digging into an TIL thread I will look things up about that topic before I post.
No. Do you?
Oh come on. It's right there. All you had to do was read a tiny bit more.
I mostly use it to proofread longer comments, check them for grammatical errors, and do minor fixes to the flow. I don't remember ever getting accused of it, so I'm probably not overdoing it.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.
