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.

~~They will also delete any comments that complain about AI at all, even though there is no rule against it.~~

/--edit--/
After second look, that's not entirely true, but they definitely have a trigger finger for it and leave plenty of other "off-topic" comments.

Considering the amount of posts deleted, it should have just been locked instead of nuking comments with a negative view of AI

Here's the thread in the screenshot:

Also, here you can see other's seem to think this was an attempt to silence dissent (though, I don't think that this coming from drag is a great point for it):

Just look at this completely insane comment from an instance admin:

Point 7 is telling.

;tldr they ban anti-AI because they're in the AI game.

That implies they profit from it. I doubt that's the case.

seize means of production is funny af, any ai thats opensource controlled by the average person will never compete with corporate resources, or rich ppl, we arent seizing anything, training our replacements we wont be able to use the top tier models well be priced out hard

What do we get, mediocre art, there is already so much art out there that I get an exestential crisis about not being able to read all the books I want to read before I die. Forget tv and movies, I dont need ai generation ruining my feeds, making it harder to find books or animations. This is the most frustrating thing, getting into blender and animation just for every hashtag result being filled with ai. Took me forever to find ppl to follow in the sea of ai trash. You know its not ai when it appeals to the eyes for more than 5 seconds.

Yep, lmao. It was well written and made some points, then the advertisement came and all credibility disappeared.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was well written and made some points

Gonna have to disagree with you on both parts of that.

[–] madame_gaymes@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't say they were good or bad points, just points. Compared to other arguments I've seen, it was written better than most. Could have been AI generated, though.

Well, there was an implication that they were good points, though I can see now that was unintentional.

Consider how the phrase "you've got a point" is often used to describe a valid point worth considering. I would consider "a valid point worth considering" a worthy definition of "a good point."
