Fuck AI

Create a community in each instance for AI. Make rule that AI can only be posted in that community. Block community if you hate AI.

Just block content you disagree with. You don't need to impose your opinions on everyone else, even if they are morally superior.

PieFed has an issue open for that: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/950

It's hard, though. Ideas (which work in real life) welcome.

What did Ars Technica do, though?

Could I see the data your claims are based on?

Report AI posts. If the admins don't see it as a problem they wont.

I'm less concerned about AI stories being posted from legitimate news organizations than I am the proliferation of AI porn communities on Lemmy.

There's ONE GUY creating and modding 19 different AI porn communities.

I'm not following how blocking this handful of users involves "getting really good with personal filters". In jerboa it's like three taps to block someone, and the last time I used voyager or lemmy through a desktop browser it was similarly easy. And how does blocking people uncritically posting that content risk blocking people bashing AI?

This just seems like a repeat of the witch hunt post about the db0 instance a few days ago. I can only speak for myself, but the last thing I want is for this to become some sort of community where we organize against specific users or communities. Fighting amongst ourselves in this little slice of internet social media will have no effect on the actual companies and market forces pushing this slop.

A big part of what makes lemmy what it is is that people aren't doing that sort of witch hunt shit here. If you want to curate other communities, then make your own copy and enforce your rules on it, or work your way into their mod team.

Most of all, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. And holding their head under just gets you a drowned horse. Speak out as you can and curate your own experience.

I’ve been blocking pure Ai communities and blocking individuals that out themselves as Ai apologists.

Best I can think is make rules that Ai is only allowed into Ai communities.

I would use broader filers but “Ai” sucks to filers because it’s only 2 digits. “LLM” can be filtered but am so sick of seeing Ai slop.

It seems like you're exploring how AI spam spreads and how people handle it online. Your observation about AI content being spread through personal accounts and broader communities is an important consideration for ethical AI development.

...jk lmao that was AI-gen. I think blocking accounts is good enough? At least that's what I tend to do. Although it'd be helpful to have some sort of community-driven list of accounts that you could automatically import and block. Actually it would be helpful with more than AI spammers: we could have a list of trolls, lgtbq+phobes, etc. That way one could easily find and block whatever they don't like, without getting the mods or admins involved (although that'd still be necessary for obvious rule violations, of course).

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