Please kindly take your grift to Reddit, Facebook, or Twitter

With AI generated articles, spam, research, images, tutorials all creating halucinations your AI generated x will be no better and will only create more untrustworthy nonsense that will only clutter the homemade communities, posts, and comments here.

Personally I’m sick of this AI crap that’s plastered everywhere like microplastics and PFAS chemicals. The cons most certainly outweighs the pros and the ‘tech panaceas’ like blockchain, nfts, and llms mostly serves to prop up the rich class.

For the 2 years I’ve been here the new fediverse feels like what Reddit used to be and should have been before the enshitification and honestly I love it here. So please stop. We don’t need a Reddit 2.0

    I disagree in that it should be allowed here just because:

    “AI content is here to stay”

    The reasoning for my belief is that the generation is near instantaneous in contrast to the effort that real people make to create things. The speed of creation creates an inherent problem in that it becomes near impossible to determine if that item is something worth of value to others, this causes a problem for both moderators and content consumers.

    No one likes the time wastage that comes from low quality posts, comments, goods.

    Time is something people can never get back.

    Until the halucinations can be decreased to point where it causes no harm or is unnoticible, it will always have a more than likely negative cost to most people.

    The argument that it should be allowed because it continues to exist is hard to justify in my opinion. The known and current cons are too costly to outweight the future potential pros.

      Since AI content is usually clearly identified as such here, it is very easily blocked.

      A social media site that you are not the admin or mod of is definitively not the appropriate place for you to attempt to enforce your opinions of what content is acceptable or not.

      Downvote, block, and move on. Time is finite, and you are wasting it trying to police what other people should and shouldn’t post in a space where you have no authority.

      Edit: To be clear, I agree about the dangers of AI. You might enjoy some of the discussions in Tech Takes on the awful.systems instance.

      AI doesn’t need to be “hallucinationless” to be useful. It just needs to make less mistakes than the average creator. Which isn’t that high a bar.

        Some people have different views about AI content, you think the summarizing is useful. Others think that it is more unreliable text to filter through.

          The balance I’ve found is

          • if it’s important and I have time: read it myself
          • if it’s important and I don’t have time: save it for later
          • if it’s not important (and I’m fine with reading someone else’s summary of it, knowing that their summary might be wrong), and curious enough, I’ll get a quick AI summary of it. Afterwards I might go back to read it properly if it sounds interesting, or skipping it happy I didn’t waste time on it

          That’s actually why I liked having those summary bots in the comments.

          • only generated once, so it saves some resources compared to many users generating it for themselves
          • people who read the piece or know about the topic can call out issues

        I like it when a bot tries to summarize articles that are so short already it doesn’t actually reduce it any further and just says saved 0% lmao
