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 Spammers on Lemmy (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

The majority of pro AI spam on the fediverse gets spread by just a handful of accounts. Usually it is people posting to one of the big "tech" pages from pro-AI PAC websites (that 74million dot org bullshit for example) or one of the billionaire mouthpiece outlets (futurism, ars technica, biz insider), and then they cross-post and repost everywhere else.

This strategy makes it so the only ways to stop seeing the shit is to get really good with personal filters or (more likely) users will block the spammer account and the communities that allow them. Notice how both of these methods also tend to block people who are bashing AI.

Seems like a behavior we need to figure out how to call out and get mods to help with? I guess Fuck AI people should start volunteering to mod Tech news? Oh no, what have I logically walked myself into...

you say that’s prone to blocking people who are bashing AI though… if they spam AI content I imagine they tend to praise AI as well? Idk, maybe I didn’t understand you.

Exactly this. For example, CMU is currently under the extreme corrupting influence of Palantir. However when CMU pushes AI propaganda, the various outlets adjust their headlines to frame it for clicks, whether that be "AI is WRONG 60% of the time! That's why we need to use it anyway." or "AI is RIGHT 40% of the time! Does that mean it has a soul???"

These shitty articles then end up everywhere and CMU gets to spread their propaganda to people who have whatever range of opinions.
