Fuck AI

"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.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

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.

Oh no. I didn't do that.

It was in flippinanarchy (or however it is spelled) community.

Edit: It was LLM generated polandball comic. Which is objectively pathetic as fuck.

Wait really? Because the log shows you're being banned from stable diffusion mycology and stable diffusion witches, not c/flippanarchy. If they saw you downvote pro-AI comments and banned you from all AI communities then that is certainly weird and a little powertrippy.

Yes. The user in question got miffed for being downvoted and banned me from places they moderate.

Just checked, it was in leftymemes community not flippinanarchy.

Let's see if I can help cut through the communications problem by assembling everything in one place with short, simple bullet points:

  • OP was in leftymemes and spotted an LLM-generated meme he didn't like
  • OP exercised his right to downvote a post he didn't like in a forum he was participating in
  • the person who posted the meme got salty and banned OP from the communities they moderate
  • these communities happen to be hosted on dbzer0.com, a noted AI-boosting instance
  • OP took a look, started blocking some of the more extreme voices before deciding to just block the whole instance

(This is what I get from reading the original post and a bit of extra in the comments. If I'm wrong on any point, OP, let me know.)

Does this help clear up the misunderstanding?

I really doubt they got banned for downvoting a single post.

More is going on that they conveniently left out.
