I think you essay writing needs some work but that's just a matter of training/practice.

Generally I think corporate Ai has plenty to answer for but as you said those are issues of Capitalism and the perverse incentives it provides. This is why we have the dead internet theory. People don't spam out slop because they like it, they do it because they're trying to survive or become rich.

I hate how this has poisoned the whole technology that even those who try to use genai for the few ethical purposes it has gets lumped in with the spammers and the billionaires. For example I made a YouTube thumbnail for my obscure content I spent days building the other day and I got hate for it because I didn't make shitty personal art for the thumbnail instead. Motherfuckers, I don't like drawing art and this use literally harms nobody! People are just completely irrational about it.

oh
("Don't be assholes." did you clock me as plural??)
btw, i'm currently writing a response, concurrently, to this essay-termed-article.
as you might've psychically gleaned, i have many mental conditions. i find this painful to read. this is a physical phenomenon, one can't just deny it in the name of being nice. now, how do i state that the way this is written causes me physical pain, without sounding like a group of assholes?
and, they don't actually have a point? this ragebait-termed-article is mostly just hating AI haters, and diagnosing them with ODD. aside from that, there's nothing consistent. more in my eventual response.

did you clock me as plural

Take a look at the rest of the thread for deleted comments to give you an idea what's going on, yours was the least aggro in fact

as you might've psychically gleaned, i have many mental conditions.

Not at all. How could I possibly glean that?

i find this painful to read. this is a physical phenomenon

Even if that's true, nobody can know you have such an obscure condition without you explicitly mentioning in advance. To everyone else it just sounds like exaggerated criticism.

ragebait or intellectual deficiency? oh, i forgot we aren't on reddit..
if you think there is no harm in that use-case, you haven't been listening. at the point that an AI is created, harm has already been done. ai requires data. lots and lots of data. thus, you need reckless scraping to gather it. and it requires training. lots and lots of training! that requires large datacenters to do.

people need to be clear, this is what FOSS genAI is: https://opensource.org/ai

what are the FOSS AI models you know of?

I didn't say I don't like it because I'm bad at it. I just don't like it. Like I don't like gardening, cooking and any other amount of creative processes.

ragebait or intellectual deficiency?

Fuck you and the horse you rode on mate. What makes you think you can just call people "intellectually deficient" because they don't agree with you? And then you have the gall to be offended by me asking you not to talk like an asshole?

I didn't do it. I didn't order it. I didn't reward it. That harm was already done. Like a lot of the harm in society done by the personal electronics you use, the cars you ride, the food you eat and so on. Me using those things in a way that doesn't sustain the system which built them, is very much not doing harm.

here's the obscure condition: ADHD! oh, and i also have all the comorbidities! it's not rare

ADHD doesn't cause physical pain by reading badly written essays.

i don't like markdown. i have been informed by e-glares that this is a hot take, but: xml is better. xhtml?

...just call people "intellectually deficient" because they don't agree with you?

there are other reasons

And then you have the gall to be offended by me asking you not to talk like an asshole?

did i do that? did you think i did that?

That harm was already done.

you're still normalizing the usage of ai

sez you!

Not going to play games, mate. Waste someone else's time.

you're still normalizing the usage of ai

There's nothing wrong with using GenAI ethically.

what? that translation is inaccurate

nvm

Disengage

Learn how lemmy works. I didn't remove shit. But if it did fall on me, I'd remove your low effort shite as well

what??? how, how in the world did you think that was what i did??? plz clarify, are you being allistic, or a troll?

begging the question?

but.. but you're the moderator??

well who did remove it, if it wasn't you??

Yeah, it sucks how much the subject of AI has become so emotionally charged and people just can't be normal. Thankfully it seems largely limited to online discourse, since people rarely act this terribly in real life when discussing AI.

As someone with ADHD I can confirm, it doesn't "hurt" to read text that isn't well written. Actually my ADHD might be partly to blame for why I'm not as good at writing as most people.

Though I suspect a lot of the people complaining so hard about writting style and accusing me of using AI are more mad about the content of this essay and would be just as pissed off if it was written by a better writer.

denying stuff by deeming it "political"? you are blaming the tree and not the saw

bravo! well, i'm not humanity (robot i guess) and i agree with you! i guess that alone does not mend your faith in humanity because i am not a human

calling it "bad faith"? what are you talking about?

The fact you came to a 3 month old thread to bitch and complain just proves my point. This is not normal behavior. Especially after you were already told to disengage (instance rule).

edit: ack, nevermind, disengage as well
