The consultation format was widely criticized for its prioritization of business interests, its lack of attention to human rights and labour concerns related to AI, and its disregard for deliberative public dialogue: the short, 30-day time window and specialized knowledge required to meaningfully answer many of the survey questions posed barriers to public participation.
In response, over 150 individuals and organizations signed an open letter urging Solomon to extend the consultation timeline, reconstitute the AI task force into a more equitable structure, and re-write the survey to better represent the concerns of a broader range of stakeholders.
It’s actually a bot embedded in the PieFed server code that automatically reports em-dashes from new accounts. I wish it was easier for us admins to mark users as not AI so that we didn’t all have to check manually every time. Might be worth complaining at !piefed_meta@piefed.social if you don’t like the bot. I’m kinda neutral on the bot but I wanted you to be aware it was flagging you in case some other PieFed admins trust it too much.
