PSA: lemmy.dbzer0.com labels anyone who shows any dislike for AI as a "right-wing neoliberal"
(lemmy.world)
~~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:
i think you misunderstand entirely.
it’s not about copyright, it’s about stealing other people’s work and pretending like it’s your own, as well as selling it as your own….
as well as, it dilutes and drowns out real artists with infinite low-quality slop….
Like how piracy steals from corporations, ruining the value of the movie made in 1996?
Wait it doesn't steal, it copies. It doesn't remove anything from anyone. Same for AI. If you want art, pay an artist. Pay for the right to share the media.
nope, not like that.
people aren’t going on the pirate bay and saying, “i made this movie! it’s my creation! i’m a bittorrent director!”.
that would be like AI artists stealing things….
i don’t care about them copying things to train their models. I care about people taking the output and posing as artists.
That is fine, I can agree with most of that. It's not stealing, it's just slapping a new label on something. Maybe plagiarism is a better term.
