Step 1: Make an anti-AI post on Lemmy.
Step 2: Profit.

[–] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

It's a whole personality to dislike AI.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

And now it’s your turn. Say I’m slop or something trendy like that.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago

You sound predisposed to being insufferable.

Do you also uphold this same standard for those, who say murder, child sexual abuse, animal abuse, etc. are bad? At least two of those three mentioned has way more performative activism attached to them, than to anti-AI, with most performative anti-AI activism coming from AI-grifters (!) themselves generating anti-AI propaganda, and/or those who only concerned about AI use in their own field.

Just because someone thinks even self-defense should be illegal due to "murder is bad even if the murdered is bad, uwu" doesn't make murder not bad.

Just because someone thinks lolicon and not having pubic hair is literally pedophilia (or at least "normalizes" it) doesn't make child sexual abuse not bad.

Just because someone thinks meat is murder or posts "let's call John Wick!" on even the smallest forms of animal abuse (or even fake ones) doesn't make animal abuse not bad.

And just because of anti-AI sentiments being popular even among some AI users for some parts doesn't negate the negative impacts of generative AI on the society. Boomers will still be fooled by them (even I can be if I don't use a magnifier glass every time to check for artifacts - at least convincing photoshops like that old image of Osama Bin Laden, George Bush, and Barack Obama being photoshopped onto the bodies of rabbis took effort from nazis to create, not just googling how to jailbreak advanced models), scammers are going to use it to augment or automate their scams, grifters are going to use it to spam "art" to get ad revenue for their first Porsche, the gas turbines are pollluting the environment, the people behind it are snake oil salesmen, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!

They never have concrete rebuttals to thought-out replies. If it was a matter of thinking, they wouldn't be going to bat for generative AI. Good work though.

If only you could profit from it

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

If you could profit from it, Lemmy would be a hell hole in an instant. I'm happy that "karma" doesn't even really matter here at all.

[–] morto@piefed.social 19 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

You give me a great idea! I will create a lemmy instance with ai-powered upvotes running in a blockchain so that people can profit from it /s

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I think you should integrate NFCs in there for more profit potential

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

NFC is cool.

NFT might fit better in the conversation, but if you actually meant NFC, I would be curious of your objections to it.

Those up arrows are worth more than gold

[–] alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Once I made an elaborate anti-AI post that looks like pro-AI one if you fail to read it; got heavily downvoted, ignored and banned. That was worth more than any amount of up arrows. Pure bliss.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 14 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

You expected people to read? On the internet?

Yeah, that's a mistake.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

2 paragraph comment?! TL;DR?

[–] morto@piefed.social 6 points 22 hours ago

Link or didn't happen

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Made a comment saying a meme is probably AI slop. Got heavily downvoted because it was a 'known' meme template, even had some guys calling me a 'whiteknight' and 'AI paranoid'. Edited the post and told people to look at the woman's face in the meme, it was all deformed. Downvotes became upvotes, upvotes became downvotes, felt better than sex.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Good on you. Silly humans.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Haha ah blind absolutism at its finest

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Can I pay people in upvotes from Lemmy?

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

You can pay them with all the pride, dignity and false confidence you’ve generated from all those upty dupties
