Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I like how the AI is so positive and uplifting and helpful when I talk with it, always generating good vibes, telling me that I'm right about everything, giving me output that is so easy to relate to, nothing too complex or challenging, always safe for advertisers, predictable and smart in just the way that its makers think will maximize profits in the long run. It's proof that capitalism works!
I like the way they collect data about me, and use it to improve their ability to manipulate other people like me so that more people can learn to enjoy the happiness that comes from joining the AI lovers on what will surely prove to be the right side of history because after all AI is real and there's no doubt that we will all depend on it for everything forever.
I admire the certainty I can have that I'm doing the right thing when I use the AI because after all there are so many billions of dollars behind it that it can't be wrong. I love the way we can all get together on the Internet and share how much we love the AI as if it's some kind of cult, it really makes me feel like I'm part of something big.
In computer software, the vibe-coded apps are starting to appear all over the place and it's great that there are so many to choose from. Any defects they might have will be fixed by the AI in no time. They're already fixing bugs almost as fast as they're creating new ones!
In media and culture, it's great how when you encounter certain kinds of art styles and certain types of opinions you never know whether what you're seeing was made by a bot. Even on social media, there are all kinds of generative AI personalities pretending to be human! It already adds to the diversity and liveliness of our little social network here, and it's only just getting started. I saw someone arguing in perfect LLM style in support of Elon Musk the other day, for example. Probably no human would go to such lengths to politely argue on his behalf! Without the AI we might've missed out on that point of view.
It sure has changed all our lives for the better, and once everyone is educated by the AI starting from early childhood everyone will one day come to accept that it's great. When everyone has learned to love it maybe some day AI will finally bring about world peace and happiness for all humanity just as its designers intend.
This sarcasm is way too subtle to not trip over Poe's Law. To paraphrase:
Some ideas are so nonsensical that any subtle parody of them is indistinguishable from endorsement.

You elevate sarcasm to an art form.
