Just curious what people think about the other people who post AI stuff. I’ve seen a few in comments recently in other comms, and I just blocked the person posting, but I wonder if everyone just blocks them, new people reading them won’t get the social feedback not to do it? Maybe it is a better strategy to post a comment saying fuck AI instead to discourage these comments. What do you all think?
I haven’t seen any AI generated images on here in nearly a year. So it’s interesting to me that you’re seeing enough of it to be an issue. I blocked like 3 or 4 AI boosters because their absurd arguments made me angry and want to argue, and I don’t come here to be angry and argue. So if I had to guess, most of the objectionable content you’re seeing is probably coming from a handful of people, a tiny fraction of the active users here.
If it took people actively calling them out to prevent some sort of normalization and spread, then new people would be routinely poping up and posting slop that I would see. I think most people just realize that it adds nothing to the community, and aren’t about to start spontaneously doing it or liking it just because they see someone else do it without being challenged.
