"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.

That's... not a straw man argument. Here's a convenient definition to help you out.
My theory is that you wouldn't know how she reacts, whether poorly or otherwise, without her first being attacked.
Maybe, just maybe, people shouldn't attack the person just because they are snowflake about the content of their comic.
Except that it is? You literally added a quote of something neither I nor anyone else said ("After I attacked her, she reacted in a way that hurt my feelings") and then provided your own reply for it justifying her response. One her real reactions, btw, was portraying her "attackers" as rapists. You did not quote any "attacks" nor her response, but justified it nonetheless because people were "attacking" her.
Criticize != Attack
As a refresher, here's what a straw man argument is:
If you don't see how your reply fits that definition, I'm afraid I can't help you.
$20 says this guy thinks he's being called a rapist.
Who's "this guy"? I've never personally talked to pizzacake and hadn't even heard of her until after all of this happened.
I was did misremember. It was a comic strip where she was basically the rapist amd it got her patreon banned for a while. Supposedly because they only allow consensual content.
It's funny how people who can't stand being wrong immediately resort to ad hominem remarks with literally no basis in reality.
Lemmy has unfortunately turned into reddit at a more rapid pace than I was expecting.
Supposedly? Do you agree with this supposed ban, or do you just like knowing facts?
Yes, supposedly. I don't work at Patreon, nor do I have access to their logs. I can't show proof of why she was temporarily banned.
Whether I agree with the ban or not is beside the point. I don't care about pizzacake herself. I just think her humor is barely humor at all, the art style is as bland as it could be and she seems to be a pretty unlikeable person to say the least.
What is "do you just like knowing facts" even supposed to mean? You're not even making sense dude.
Fun rhetoric tip for anyone who's reading: if you see something like the above, you're dealing with a coward.
Potus, tell me what you actually believe. Puff your chest out and say it with strength, hm? Stop pretending to be utterly disaffected by issues you are bringing to me. If you don't care, I can't care.
What an insufferable douche.
Yes, true, but we have hopes you'll outgrow it at puberty.
