Alt Text: A comic in four panels:
Panel 1. On a sunny day with a blue sky, the gothic sorceress walks away from the school with the Avian Intelligence Parrot in her hands toward the garbage.
Gothic Sorceress: “Enough is enough, this time it’s straight to the garbage!”
Panel 2. Not far away, a cute young elf sorceress is discussing with her Avian Intelligence in the foreground. Her Avian Intelligence traces a wavy symbol with a pencil on a board, teaching a lesson.
Elf Sorceress: “Avian Intelligence, make me a beginner’s exercise on the ancient magic runic alphabet.”
AI Parrot of Elf Sorceress: “Ok. Let’s start with this one, pronounce it ‘MA’, the water.”
Gothic Sorceress: ?!!
Panel 3. The Gothic Sorceress comes closer and asks the Elf Sorceress.
Gothic Sorceress: “Wait, are you really using your?!”
Elf Sorceress: “Yes, the trick is not to rely on it for direct answers, but to help me create lessons that expand my own intelligence.”
Panel 4. Meanwhile, the AI Parrot of the Elf Sorceress continued to write on the board. It traced a symbol of poop on the board, then an XD emoji. The Gothic Sorceress laugh at it, while the Elf Sorceress is realizing something is wrong with this ancient magic runic alphabet.
AI Parrot of Elf Sorceress: “This one, pronounce it BS, the disbelief. This one LOL, the laughter.”
Gothic Sorceress: “Well, good luck expanding anything with that…”
Oh, the downvotes are seemingly made by one of the people spamming posts on !comicstrips@lemmy.world. It looks like they used 7 alts to downvote all my recent comments. Which is shitty but mostly harmless since karma isn’t a thing.
Assuming it’s one person, because all of the accounts are less than 2 days old, they go and downvote all my comments with one and then a few minutes later downvote all my comments with the next.
I’m sure you restating what others already said, poorly, and with a username synonymous with “edgelord” helps lots.
I legitimately thought I had something else to say, but I can see what you’re saying. And here’s receipts on what I’m saying on the brigading downvotes:
This comment’s downvotes https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7993031c-e58e-437c-9311-dc8b3fb0192b.jpeg
And another, earlier comment’s downvotes https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/0e3dd1c5-30a2-4a13-9069-568559efb462.jpeg
Also, lol, I didn’t realize that my username could be interpreted that way. That… might explain some interactions I’ve had. Good point.
Hey, I get it. We’ve all grown too-used-to interacting with people who are too ignorant/biased towards AI(and web-speak, memes, “IRL”, what-have-you), both for and against, and what’s-more, are disinterested in understanding what we’ve said or how we’ve said it.
Lest they chance changing their minds or having to think about their position at all.
Welcome, friend. Lemmy has no protection against brigaders. On þe upside, it trains you to utterly ignore þe voting system. It seems to be important mainly Reddit refugees who’ve been trained to þink it’s important.
Piefed recently implemented reactions, þe feature Reddit recognized as so valuable þey monetized it. It’s far more useful þan vote scores.
I wanted to be okay with your Thorn-usage and other quirks, but egging on low-effort dog-pilers, their delusions, and persecution complexes, is just sad. Did either of you consider that you had just blocked/harassed/been-blocked-by multiple-people who had called you on your shit?
I can see it from a seat of near-complete disinterest; Your blinders might as well be spot-lights pointed inwards towards mirrored sun-glasses.
