I am still seeing a lot of it, and blocking immediately, but now I feel like I must be blocking genuine human stuff on YouTube/Instagram. Good thing the fediverse is less contaminated

Luckly the fediverse exposes AI way more too

This is the smartest goddamn meme I've seen this year. Do you have any idea how long this would take to fully explain to my mom? Incredible. No notes.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 3 hours ago

Oh god i can't even begin to imagine how long it would take

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sure I understand less than half of it

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 5 points 6 hours ago

Which is more than half of what you deserve!

I block people who routinely post it.

And it turns out a lot of algorithm driven platforms will stop showing it if you react overwhelmingly negatively and refuse to engage with it and I just stoped using platforms that didn’t respect the signals.

I blocked them while I could still see it.

How does survivorship bias apply to seeing less AI? Does it mean that it’s like hidden now or something? I don’t get the meme!! 😭

[–] FaeriesWearBoots@sopuli.xyz 119 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

It means you've lost the ability to identify it, BC there isn't any less of it

[–] hamsamrich@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

Ahh thx 🙏

You would expect that the amount of people complaining about ai generated images would cause people to avoid using them

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 5 points 9 hours ago

Nah, now they're actively taking the work of anti-AI artists, feeding them into AI, and then sending it to them.

Why?

I've definitely noticed more assholes responding with chatbot generated arguments.

And don't call it ai. Industry buzz term. Anti-labor anti-human anti-ai.

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 hours ago

Why should i not use a term that has been in use for at least a decade? I have specifically mentioned ai generated images to not have it included with the actually useful ai

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 3 points 14 hours ago

Thank youuuuuu

[–] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 13 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 5 points 13 hours ago

Hell yeah, get it 🤙
I'm also trying to play more games

[–] BlackJerseyGiant@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Brilliant. Thank you
