I’m guessing that I was banned for recent, scientifically accurate statements about “AI” despite a long history of posting in the comm. As someone who doesn’t believe in “AI”, I think that a great portion of “anti-AI” sentiment is misguided at best and most often feeding the grift. I think it’s really sad how people who supposed oppose “AI” constantly feed the hype through anthropomorphism, absurd claims/beliefs, etc. Perhaps more importantly, if you’re more upset by people generated images of witches than by genocide, surveillance, etc., then you’re part of the problem. TBH technology is always corrupted by capitalism and nothing special is really happening with “AI” apart from the massive grift. The comm seems like a lib space mostly for promoting phony “AI” press releases. I’m not surprised that I was banned for my thought crimes. “AI” doesn’t exist and I’m not sorry about it. But that comm is the real booster. Rife with pseudo-science and anthropomorphism. That’s why liberal resistance is not actually resistance. These people are going to be crying about witch pictures while being dragged off to prison during an “AI” raid…

    I’m with you 100% here.

    But… I think the rest of the post is overgeneralized and kinda went off the rails.

    Corporate “AI” is awful. Its a huge issue, its reasonable to be upset about it, and its not reasonable to expect people to understand technical nuance amongst models they never use.


    Ive been anti-anti-AI in that community, and havent gotten banned yet… And I think being polite goes a long way, there.
