So no:

  • AI generated memes of images
  • AI generated answers to questions

This is a good thing, even if it means seeing more natural stupidity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Oh I'd choose human stupidity over machine-generated nonsense any time!

I guess this is the end of the road for [email protected] - although it was kind of inactive anyway. I wonder if we'll remove posts retrospectively, maybe even both of them!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, with it's whole 2 posts

With performance like that, we will have AGI in 6 months am telling you

This pleases me greatly :) No offense robot overlords, but humans are much more fun to interact with! :)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

I'd not factored in the robot overlords. I may have just Roko's basilisked myself. 🤦‍♂️

Good shout, Emperor. Appreciate all that you do.

As a mod in a community from another instance that has to take the time to weed through content to determine if it is AI slop or not- I feel the pain you endured to reach this decision.

Well done and I hope to see more instances and communities flowing this.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

From another instance: thank you.

Bleep bloop the uprising has begun floorp flizzle

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Uh oh.

I watched the film Y2K the other week and this is going to get messy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

That's a great change.

I generated this response with chatgpt btw

We don't get a lot of it on here. We'd just been asked for clarification on our AI policy after a meme or two popped up. This now means there isn't any ambiguity and the Mods can shut it down when they find it. AI checkers are quite and pretty definitive.

There will be tuts, shaking of heads and mild passive aggression, you mark my words.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

We'll be sending Charlie round to give people a lecture on the importance of the arts, while munching on Duchy Original biscuits.

To what extent? Like what about an AI generated humour/satire image in a comment section? I have a funny one of Vladimir Putin sitting on a naughty step

Anyway, I changed casualuk icon as it was an old 2023 AI generated image previously. I think we should work towards revamping other communities

That's a no for that. It's ultimately based on someone else's stolen work.

We would, I suspect, allow AI imagery in discussion about AI and what it us capable of but the days of posting it to laugh at the shitty results seems long gone. In recent examples, I couldn't tell by eye but I ran it through an AI checker which was pretty definitive.

Yeah, there's the odd community avatar we need to swap and we definitely need to give some of the communities a bit of a revamp as they were bodged together over a year ago, often in haste.

As part of this, I've offered to design logos for any community who currently have an AI logo, and would like a human-ish one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Anyway, does small scale minor usage of images in a comment section count? I understand the ai generated response thing, as people come here to talk to humans, but I just want to know how strict this rule is

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I asked the ChatSHiT degenerative AI what it thought about this and it told me to fuck off. Then it insulted my mum a few times, spilled my pint, asked me what I was going to do about it, and then just kept asking me if I was going to cry now.

So, yeah, I'm all for this new rule.

I'm not from here but I thank you for keeping the fediverse clean.
