Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

MODERATORS
 

I tried to post on Reddit without AI assistance, and the platform punished me for it. Auto‑removed, auto‑banned, auto‑muted. No human review, no appeal, no accountability.

Reddit’s AI moderation is so broken that it flags real people as bots, blocks posts before submission, and traps users in permanent accounts they can’t fully delete.

I’m posting this here because Reddit makes it impossible to talk about Reddit. Their AI systems silence users instead of helping them.

If this is the future of moderation, it’s a dystopia.

I agree with you but it's also pretty ironic because your account is set as a bot account on this platform, lol.

Additionally, most of their Fediverse activity is in a community about AI text generators

Edit: and much of their Reddit activity seems like slop too. I don’t understand whoever sets up these “false flag” anti-AI AIs.

Probably just doing the one thing AI is good at, flooding the zone.

I get why some people here are reacting the way they are, and the irony isn’t lost on me. I’m not pretending to be anti‑AI or hiding anything — I use AI chat because my natural writing style gets flagged by Reddit’s automated filters.

When I try to write in my own words, Reddit’s AI moderation blocks me before I can even submit. That’s the whole point of my post: real people are getting treated like bots by systems that can’t tell the difference.

I’m not here to flood anything or push AI content. I’m here because Reddit’s AI systems punished me for trying to communicate normally, and I wanted to talk about that somewhere I wouldn’t get auto‑removed.

If the phrasing sounds “AI‑ish,” that’s exactly the problem I’m describing — the line between “structured writing” and “AI slop” has gotten blurry, and real users get caught in the crossfire.

the post is giving AI slop vibes-

No human review, no appeal, no accountability.

this line is very specifically serving GPT

WRONG! It's MC (Microsoft Copilot) It's helped me, unlike Reddit, honestly Reddit's AI is slop beyond slop, use AI on Reddit post removed, use my own words post removed banned and muted, that's why I feel more comfortable using AI chat.

I know, I immediately went to AI chat (Microsoft Copilot) for help in how to remove it, I just want people to realize how old and outdated Reddit's AI systems are, I mean the rare moment where I actually used my words on that site and not default to AI chat I get banned and muted. Needless to say it doesn't make me feel any comfortable using my own words, Honestly at this point Reddit is like North Korea, you can't say anything negative about Reddit, not even as feedback, and were I to delete my Reddit account, they would keep my username "they would keep my ~~user~~name" so I'm basically screwed. Hoping for a change in Reddit's AI that will never happen, hoping for a change in account permanency which will never happen, Thus using AI chat Microsoft copilot to make my words come as intelligent and accurate as to not come off as a raging Karen, which in itself will help nothing.
