"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
Summary:
I downvoted pro-AI comments in a post in leftymemes community. It was LLM generated polandball comic (Which is objectively pathetic as fuck) that showed up on my feed, blocked couple of users who I thought were unhinged, and have blocked the whole instance on my client after realizing how rabid these morons are.
I didn't go looking for AI posts like a vigilante.
One user in question got miffed for being downvoted and banned me from places they moderate.
I noticed just yesterday or maybe two days ago that MysticMuchroom had banned me from !stable_diffusion_witches@lemmy.dbzer0.com calling me an "Anti-AI Troll" in the modlog. I'm fairly certain I've had exactly zero interaction with the stable_diffusion_witches before or since.
My guess is that ze had previously banned me from !stable_diffusion_mycology@lemmy.dbzer0.com for downvoting too much and preemptively also banned me from stable_diffusion_witches when ze first created it.
Then ze had the gall to come to this thread to troll and file reports to me (I'm a mod here on !fuck_ai@lemmy.world) about people calling zir out for basically exactly that behavior.
Oy.
I think the need for more explicit rules in the sidebar is getting more crucial. I might see about trying to make that happen soon. I'll probably start by DMing @VerbFlow@lemmy.world and see where it goes from there.
Cover me in Bacon grease and rub my belly until I squeal
Lol it just keeps on getting better, dbzer0's admins apparently think that banning anyone who downvotes in your community to create an echochamber is somehow a good thing
I crossposted this thread to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, and here was db0's response
Not surprising whatsoever. Someone should really make an alternative to that community that isn't on dbzer0. YPTB is biased as fuck and they're not above accusing people like us of sowing drama just because they don't like criticism of their slop.
I was also in that thread and have blocked the whole instance. Literally the first thing I did when I made my account was block the AI images communities, because I don't want it in my feed. The .dbzer0 mods have now made it clear that every comm on their instance is an AI image comm, and if you talk about it or complain, you can expect your comments to be removed in the same way they would be if you went into a specifically AI image community. Like, not only is there no requirement or expectation that it be tagged as AI, but you can't even expect to see it mentioned in the comments because that'll be censored. They're really trying to shove it down everyone's throats and ban anyone who complains.
"Being anti-AI is intrinsically reactionary" is a direct quote from Unruffled. None of them are at all open to hearing criticism or discussion about it.
Test.

WHY
i literally just made one in like 5 minutes, and i didn't even need a good or interesting idea. i put in the minimum amount of effort. they are literally balls with no mouth, nose or any other detail, just a circle, a flag and two eyes
AI bros aren't logical, they'd rather put in no effort to have a machine barf out crap then claim they made it.
Wait, are you telling me that people who use AI nowadays are completely deranged?

AI Evangelists are cringe people.
I saw some freak at a prostest passing out flyers saying AI was sentient and we need to give it legal rights.
These people are delusional, incapable of living in reality.
That's what happens when you let AI talk for you, draw for you, speak for you, and even think for you.
