This is the smartest goddamn meme I've seen this year. Do you have any idea how long this would take to fully explain to my mom? Incredible. No notes.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm sure I understand less than half of it

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 7 points 19 hours ago

Which is more than half of what you deserve!

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 17 hours ago

Oh god i can't even begin to imagine how long it would take

[–] saart@jlai.lu 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I am still seeing a lot of it, and blocking immediately, but now I feel like I must be blocking genuine human stuff on YouTube/Instagram. Good thing the fediverse is less contaminated

Luckly the fediverse exposes AI way more too

except dbzer0 and SJW

[–] RockBottom@feddit.org 15 points 23 hours ago

I blocked them while I could still see it.

[–] megopie@beehaw.org 12 points 22 hours ago

I block people who routinely post it.

And it turns out a lot of algorithm driven platforms will stop showing it if you react overwhelmingly negatively and refuse to engage with it and I just stoped using platforms that didn’t respect the signals.

How does survivorship bias apply to seeing less AI? Does it mean that it’s like hidden now or something? I don’t get the meme!! 😭

[–] FaeriesWearBoots@sopuli.xyz 135 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It means you've lost the ability to identify it, BC there isn't any less of it

[–] hamsamrich@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Ahh thx 🙏

You would expect that the amount of people complaining about ai generated images would cause people to avoid using them

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 9 points 22 hours ago

Nah, now they're actively taking the work of anti-AI artists, feeding them into AI, and then sending it to them.

[–] kesslerpartyatmyplace@anarchist.nexus 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Why?

I've definitely noticed more assholes responding with chatbot generated arguments.

And don't call it ai. Industry buzz term. Anti-labor anti-human anti-ai.

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Why should i not use a term that has been in use for at least a decade? I have specifically mentioned ai generated images to not have it included with the actually useful ai

It has existed since at least the 1960s,probably earlier, and been common use among SciFi nerds since at least the 80s.

This is not ai. We do not have ai. Nothing currently extant was made with the existence of ai, because ai does not exist at present. If we ever do invent ai, you're going to look like an excitable wide eyed bigot and it's going to look cringe as fuck. In the meantime it is used to create buzz and bullshit lies to discipline labor. Contributing to that PR push by using their dishonest language is an active strike against the power of workers, organized and not. It also takes research dollars flops etc from real ai research, which used to be a thing, and would be pretty cool to have around.

I'll spare you the explanation of why it's anti human. Be a tool of the oligarchs or don't.
