A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

They're not. I know plenty of people irl who use Ai for everything.

Even my father who's extremely tech savvy and mechanically adept uses it for even the simplest questions.

There are plenty of people that believe ai is an extremely useful tool.

I really hope people remember why they don't let you use a calculator in elementary school and apply that to AI.

You need to know the fundamentals of the topic to make effective use of a tool. If you know nothing on the subject then you can't instruct the tool correctly to produce a good product

I'm also extremely tech savvy (and working in IT for decades). While I sometimes use a llm for assistance the main reason of doing that sparsely is thst it's a slippery slope. You never know when a hallucination might hit you.

So basically misinformation silently crawls in. I don't want that to happen.

Yeah, when you don't know a field it help. Your no expert by you can get things done. Technical debt is a later problem.
