Do you always invent random backstories for strangers? Because putting aside my other artistic projects that don't even use ai, I don't post ai stuff without hours of photoshop editing.
It's a common sentiment among ai users. I apologize, I shouldn't have assumed you do, but in general from what I've seen, ai users have a shorter attention span
Every time Reddit gets a hate boner for something, they eventually forget it in a few years. The head phone jack in new phones. The reddit API thing. China and the Uyghurs. Have you been seeing how many tankies there are these days? Reddit LOVES china now.
They made a fucking Shrek joke, this comment wasn't even meant to be part of the debate
If it was an actual statement against your "argument" (although half your arguments are just ragebait) it would have been rooted in facts and reason, but no they just made a silly "Haha Shrek" joke. Are you allergic to humor or what?
Clanker can ragebait all he wants but at this point, I genuinely feel bad for him
Like, is this really how you want to spend your time? Posting low-effort ragebait on a debate subreddit? Why not pick up a hobby or talk to a loved one? We've got like 70-80 years max on earth, why waste it?
I'll start by saying I'm glad to see that you're actually engaging with my comment instead of posting one of your "masterpieces".
It's not simply a matter of it being your hobby, it's the fact that the only thing you use it for is, as I said before, low-effort ragebait. Seriously, go ahead, generate all you want, but when you start actively making it everyone else's problem, that's when I start taking issue.
I originally joined this sub because I was interested in debating others over AI, but so many of the posts on here serve only to divide antis and pros, when we could actually be having some interesting discussions on where AI's place in the future may be.
It's fine if debate isn't your thing, but exclusively posting such content in this sub is only making pros look worse by association.
There's a non-zero percent chance that you're going to say that this isn't exclusively a debate sub, and while that is true, most people here are still ultimately here to well... debate. Your content actively makes that more difficult for both pros and antis. Pros ultimately end up looking worse since you're one of the most prolific posters on this sub and have inspired a number of copycats, thus resulting in this type of content over representing Pro content as a whole, and antis look worse because the ogre imagery has become so popular, that many pros view antis as a bunch of neanderthals instead of people who are simply concerned about what the implications of AI technology may be.
I do actually want to have a conversation with you about this, so I'm sorry if I come off as insensitive at some point in this point.
TLDR: Even if AI is your hobby, that doesn't excuse you using it to make debate on this subreddit difficult by posting inflammatory content that only serves to further divide both pros and antis. I'd have the exact same issue if you were an anti doing it.
Even if this isn't a debate subreddit exclusively, most people still use it mainly for debate, so you're still ultimately having a negative impact on the subreddit.
What a shame, I thought I might of actually have been able to engage in good faith with you!
I'm legit about to head to dinner with some uni pals to celebrate summer ending (not sure why that's something to celebrate) so I wouldn't have been able to actually talk to you for a little bit, but I guess you just made my job easier!
Hope your life improves to the point where this isn't the only thing you find joy in!
In seriousness, turning up the heat on discourse so people scream at each other instead of finding common ground to work towards is the point. Of course there are bots at both extremes run by the same originator. Divide and conquer isn't new.
?? I've literally never seen that happen lol, it's probably just the common asia glazers who don't know anything about its countries but praise them endlessly for some reason
Uh yeah, duh? That's how statistics work. I could say the exact same thing as a counter-point lol
I could say that even if there were 1k anti-AI bots that they didn't find, maybe there are 100k other regular bots that they ALSO didn't find either.. because there ARE. Bots are EVERYWHERE dude there's bound to be hundreds of thousands or even millions of bots out there arguing against AI RIGHT NOW.
That doesn't mean that the anti side of AI discussions are a plant by the Chinese lol, or that they're being manipulated by foreign infiltrators.. it just means that bots are doing what they always do, spouting nonsense and spamming posts with whatever they scrape up off the floor of the internet. AI happens to be a huge point of discussion right now, of course some of what they scrape up happens to be just that. I'm sure there are plenty of AI supporting bots too
It's not a conspiracy lol, it's just bots. It's ALWAYS been bots. more than 50% of the internet is estimated to be bots of course some of them are talking about AI

I can’t believe there are articles on it now, damn. Only a few months ago people on here insisted it was schizophrenia/conspiracy to suggest that bot campaigns exist for this
There is a ton of investigative journalism into this beyond what Elon has said. Its not just the CCP there is a also a Swiss Billionaire as well as other private groups funding tens of millions of dollars (that we know of) into anti-AI misinformation.
Except for their surveillance. I never hear about how much surveillance there is in China anymore, outside the posts about police drones every few months
In which country is the political right concerned about the environmental impact of ai and are actively seeking ways to protect the environment (so more than just empty words)?
Ah yes, the only possible explanation for someone not agreeing with me, the main character of reality, is that they have fallen victim to malicious propaganda. I, of course, am immune to propaganda because I am so smart.
Haven't they already done that? Didn't Deepseek create a massive upset in the ai space like a year ago by being vastly more efficient than it's US counterparts? Beyond that, why would the Chinese believe that's an effective strategy? It's not like American collective action has really accomplished much of anything in the last 20 years. I feel like there's holes in this theory.
China open sourced their AI which American universities use for researching AI while American companies fearmonger and gatekeep China. It's pure projection and propaganda.
The absolute state of pro-AI propaganda. Literally all I can picture in my mind right now is Donald Trump (the fascist pedophile) saying "There are no anti Ai, they're not rheall, it's just CHEYENA prop-o-gand-AA"
same. AI sucks, people are using AI to get fame and views. yeah, you have to put creativity in it. but there's also WAY more creativity in digital and traditional art. and, they take way longer than just generating an image that takes 5 seconds. we actually put effort into our work.
I don't think that's the case, as I've seen more AI being used by right-wing / conservative people, while I have seen more distrust and diswant from Left leaning people. Where did you get the data to say that most Pros are Progressive and leftwing?
This is true of the pro-side as well. The amount of capital they have towards propaganda and advertising is at the least equal to the amount the Chinese would be committing to this.
China is doing this because they like AI. So unless you want to make the argument that China doesn't like AI (ridiculous) then pointing this out is akin to pointing out that pros agree with the racist surveillance state China, which is just such a big W for you guys.
