True; however many of the current use cases for AI aren't utilitarian, but are instead forcibly replacing artists while stealing their work to do so. Ontop of this, the infrastructure behind/supporting these tools is destructive and measurably making a significant amount of peoples lives worse.
These factors have jaded people against AI as a whole; as support for AI is seen as support for the destruction and instability it's brought with it.
And the rest of us are just tired of people braying about AI in every single thread. People just have to learn how to deal with their personal issues without spamming about their feelings everywhere. I see far more people screeching about AI than actual AI generated content at this point. These tantrums add absolutely nothing to any discussion, and they're just noise.
"I'm tired of listening to people complain about their or their friends lives being uprooted and my indifference to those problems"
Good, it's working. People are shying away from creating/posting AI content, knowing it's very vocally unwanted.
Not really, people are just tired of your spam.
People are tired of slop.
I'm tired of people screeching about slop in every thread about any subject. Please try being tired of slop quietly in your own head. Or make a community where people who enjoy hearing other people screech about slop can yell at each other how much you all hate slop.
I'm perfectly fine here in this community of people telling you to take the slop elsewhere.
yes, you're perfectly fine being part of an obnoxious crowd of people flooding every thread to prevent any meaningful conversation from happening with your slop
We're not the root cause of the disruption.
Yes, you literally are. Your slop is distracting from meaningful conversations.
The root cause is people posting AI slop where it's not welcome. If they could at least take that somewhere else, discussions could continue in peace.
Do you complain about people asking you to take a shower or leave because they don't like to smell you?
Nobody made you the arbiter of what's welcome. I don't find your noise welcome. If you choose to be obnoxious don't expect people to agree with the message you're trying to deliver.
You're getting enough opposition from enough people to be annoyed by it. You may safely assume that the community has decided what's welcome and what isn't.
both of you must be very proud
If it's only two people including me, it should be very easy to block us and continue on your merry way.
And you'll just continue harassing other people. The problem with you lot is that you declare something to be LLM generated, without any actual evidence I might add, then derail the whole thread so you can bray about how much you hate AI. You are far more obnoxious than any AI generated content I've seen.
Weird, it's as if you haven't read a thing I've written.
You will continue to be told to remove the AI slop. Get with the times or be left behind because opposition against AI slop is here to stay. It is much better for your mental health to stop resisting. Not everybody is born privileged with a talent for spamming communities with unwanted content. Opposing AI slop is democratising access to people's attention.
You can stomp your feet all you like, but all you add is noise and toxicity. You're basically like an annoying mosquito hovering around conversations people are trying to have.
And yet you find it impossible to ignore us.
yes, like annoying mosquitoes, being an annoyance is not something most people are proud of, but clearly you've set your standards low
Right back atcha.
I'm not the one sealioning into your threads
