No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

When you encounter new information- new ideas, or art, or just have a new experience- you process that information in the context of your prior understanding; the thoughts you have are definitely yours, and not "stolen." in the same sense as generative AI spewing out artwork.
Some people say the same thing about Andy Wharhol, though. So we still need to have that argument out.
We don't even know if we're not also "this". We're definitely conscious, we're aware.
I'd probably put generative AI and LLMs on the same level of awareness as a tree. They follow an algorithm that allows them to adapt in subtle ways to their changing environments (Growing towards lightsources, taking in or giving up nutrients into the soil. they even have "community" in the sense that the mycellium spreads those nutrients around to other trees that need it... lol)
It's not that I don't particularly like AI, per se. it's what the techbros are using it for that piss me off. I would say that AI rights need to be established now so that we don't cause the fucking AI Apocalypse. (because some incel is going to turn a sentient AI into it's fuckdoll. or worse.)(not to mention coming after everyone's jobs. slightly nsfw, but here's the latest "WTF, Techbros?"
