Lemmy needs AI. [SATIRE] (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Lemmy needs AI features integrated, this would help increase the efficiency of poster and commenter workflows, allowing for maximal upvotes per minute, and as a consequence it increases engagement across all communities. The direct increase in output of posters when they enhance their workflow with LLMs is staggering, and comments per minute for each post go through the roof. This allows for discussions to be longer, and LLMs can be deployed on the site in such a way as to write comments that leave the reader desperate to see what the next reply is, even further boosting how many hours people spend on each post.

Lemmy not integrating AI workflows is denying a choice that everyone should be making, AI will replace posters that don’t keep up, so learning AI workflows is now essential for posters and commenters. AI will be completely different tomorrow, the workflows are going to be completely different in a months time, and it will produce even MORE text, and even MORE images. You hear me, you should learn AI right now, otherwise the posters and commenters who use AI will overtake you in terms of upvotes, and then, well you all know how important upvotes are.

I propose that accounts have a mode that can be turned on to auto generate posts overnight, and on top of that AI should try to autocomplete every sentence people type into the editor. This will maximise the benefits to Lemmys written communities. I also propose having an AI art generator built into each post, so every post can have an image, further maximising engagement. Moderators can benefit from the shift in paradigm that AI have brought about, with AI being able to create and moderate communities that no one has even asked for! Lemmy should not only allow but encourage the adoption of these tools, and everyone should be jumping on this revolution like there is no tomorrow.

I also think that the developers should integrate AI into their workflow, it could automatically add features that people don’t even know they want. I am SHOCKED that the developers are still creating Lemmy at this point, as AI can already do 110% of their job, the other day ChatGPT wrote me a sorting algorithm that it told me was totally new, and that it was able to sort any list instantly regardless of size.

My stock portfolio has nearly doubled since I went all in on AI stocks, and I expect it to double in coming months, this tells you just how amazing AI is. Since all the companies are valued this highly despite having quite a small consumer base.

We need to find a way to fund the cost of implementing this. Perhaps a series of NFTs?

Finally, a chance to cash in on my bored lemmings.

You jest, but the translate comments feature on Reddit now is pretty amazing and makes the web much bigger.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Some form of translation, ai or not, along with an image description option (that users would proofread before posting) could actually be cool.

This is a really interesting and forward-thinking perspective on how AI could enhance Lemmy! I definitely agree with the idea that AI could bring some significant improvements to the platform, and your points about increased efficiency and engagement are spot on.
Thinking specifically about the Lemmy platform:

  • Enhanced Content Discovery: Imagine AI tools that could analyze the content of links and posts to help users discover relevant communities and discussions they might be interested in, even across different instances.
  • Improved Content Summarization: AI could assist in providing concise summaries of linked articles or lengthy discussions, allowing users to quickly grasp the main points before diving in.
  • Automated Content Categorization and Tagging: AI could help communities automatically categorize and tag posts, improving organization and making it easier for users to find specific types of content.
  • Enhanced Moderation Tools: As you mentioned, AI could assist moderators by identifying potentially harmful content, spam, or rule violations, freeing up their time for more nuanced community management.
  • Personalized User Experience: In the future, AI could potentially help tailor the content displayed to individual users based on their interests and engagement patterns.
    Your point about the fear of being left behind is also valid. As AI continues to evolve, platforms that embrace these tools could offer more dynamic and user-friendly experiences. The ability to automate some tasks and enhance content management could allow communities to scale more effectively and foster richer discussions. It's exciting to think about how AI could unlock new possibilities for the Lemmy ecosystem! Thanks for sharing your insightful thoughts.

How can we integrate blockchain into this?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 13 hours ago

Lemmy IS AI. You're the only real user you know.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Great idea. Would be even better if we turned lemmy into an AI only social network. Thousands of bots will create content, vote and comment. And all this could be done without user interaction.

Finally, even the super niche communities will have hundreds of bot comment per day, and all human lemmy users will leave voluntarily (thus reducing the need for moderation).

But then where will I deploy my AI moderator?

Taking your piece of shit AI and jam it where the sun doesn’t shine. [SATIRE]

To be clear, this post is satire. If that wasn't obvious already.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, maybe add "[Satire]" to the title because it reads too much like every other AI-bro press release lol.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I tried to hit that line when I was writing it, clearly I've missed the mark and made it a little too real

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Bro cooked too hard, he sounded more convincing than most AI advocates...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

the world simply isn't ready for your revolutionary ideas 😔

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago

I would actually say OP should remove the [satire] tag. Good satire is when it's difficult to figure out whether you are making fun of the topic or agreeing with it.

Adding a [satire] kills the whole comedy vibe.
