Sure, but not by definition. Posting slop and spam is different than shitposting. This post is just slop.

“Shitposting” describes the act, not the content. Posting content “that took little to no effort” to produce is just spam. It doesn’t matter if a human made it or not.

I think quote posts are undesirable for the reasons you mentioned but I have to accept that it will be huge for adoption, and the flip side (promoting others work in a positive light) is also going to be really great.

Oh yeah absolutely, but I also think the goal of the AI companies is not to actually create a functioning AI that could “do a job 20% as good as a human, but 90% cheaper”, but to sell fancy software, whether it works or not, and leave the smaller companies holding the bag after they lay off their workforce.

Right? It actually makes me feel insane that the topic of “humans working less” is never in the selling points of these products.

Honestly I suspect that rather than some nefarious capitalist plot to enslave humanity, it is just more evidence that the software can’t actually do what the people selling it to big corporations claim it can do.

This bit at the end, wow:

Gartner still expects that by 2028 about 15 percent of daily work decisions will be made autonomously by AI agents, up from 0 percent last year.

Agentic AI is wrong 70% of the time, but even assuming a human employee is barely correct most of the time and wrong 49% of the time, is it really still more efficient to replace them?

I like where your head’s at, but Mastodon’s system of verification seems much easier to me and doesn’t rely on a third party.

For YouTube tutorial videos I have no issue with relying on GPT, but I think it’s important to recognize that the translation of art is art. I don’t feel good about the idea of something without a soul or perspective interpolating a work of art from one culture and language into another that might be wildly different from where it started.

That all said, I think Crunchyroll and anyone else using AI art without disclosing it absolutely should be honest about it.

twas a joke, but that’s a nice feature!

Storing upvote / downvote totals you gave to each user, and a setting to display that history next to their name.

Where is the instance that autobans any account that users have downvoted X times? /s

Lemmy does feel more and more like 4chan every day…

This is literally literally a drama article

It’s annoying to be treated that way isn’t it?

Please don’t sealion me.

That’s a good point, I have no doubt Linux would not be in the position it is if he were more sensitive to it.

Anyone else here actively put off by Linux drama and headlines like “Torvalds Drops support After Clash!”

EDIT: New rule?

Not positive but IIRC with Fedora you can change updates to weekly/monthly etc.

We’re simultaneously in a place where there are more options than ever, and yet it’s become increasingly clear there are really only 4-5 options.

The top finger kinda gives it away imo

I am a happy /c/fuckai subscriber and I am still comfortable admitting that image generators can be great for memes and quick jokes.
