Folks, FOLKS. This *includes* AI “art” making fun of Trump, or Elon, or whatever other political thing you agree with. It’s not “No fucking AI” unless it scores a point for my side. It’s “NO FUCKING AI.” Period. - ThreadSky

Folks, FOLKS.

This *includes* AI “art” making fun of Trump, or Elon, or whatever other political thing you agree with. It’s not “No fucking AI” unless it scores a point for my side.

It’s “NO FUCKING AI.” Period.

Okay folks, once again:

No fucking AI. No fucking excuses. No fucking exceptions.

Strava is trying to build AI shit into its “workout analysis.” I cannot emphasize enough how superficial and stupid its assessments of my recent rides have been. But apparently we need to burn creative jobs and our resources to the ground for this slop. 🤦‍♂️

lepetitereboot.bsky.social•67 days ago

It's so much easier to have a complete moratorium than to find "acceptable" exclusions. It always sucks. ALWAYS.

slcpgh.bsky.social•69 days ago

Really? Really motherfucker? You saw this post and decided it merited a follow from you? Are you out of your goddamn mind?

breakaway71.bsky.social•69 days ago

Oh yeah they tried to follow me recently too lol

slcpgh.bsky.social•69 days ago

I just… of ALL the posts to decide to follow me on. I get it’s probably blindly scraping posts that mention AI but I mean, come on, REALLY?

breakaway71.bsky.social•69 days ago

Yeah mine was a super anti-AI post too. I did a double-take when I saw the account. Utterly ridiculous.

brewergnome.bsky.social•67 days ago

How the heck was that not already on my block list. Added.

mrpaulymac.bsky.social•67 days ago

I blocked them when they followed me.

slcpgh.bsky.social•67 days ago

This is the way.

mrpaulymac.bsky.social•67 days ago

ringoyote.bsky.social•67 days ago

And the amazing thing there is that it's a scam

engtechnic.bsky.social•67 days ago

got this one too by dunking on AI

vance.bsky.social•67 days ago

This is an old game. I made fun of seasteading groups years ago on The Other Site and two of them robo-followed me.

bmorebaker42.bsky.social•69 days ago

We allow what Chat GPT doesn’t?

So illegal porn. That is what that is.

slcpgh.bsky.social•69 days ago

I didn’t bother looking closely enough for the Mickey Mouse rape fantasies.

ringoyote.bsky.social•67 days ago

Illegal porn and snuff fan fictions of liberal politicians probably

warrenwp.bsky.social•67 days ago

I try to ask myself "would I cut down a dozen trees for this bullshit" and then I don't because the answer is always no.

jonnyworldbeater.bsky.social•67 days ago

In addition to all the other forms of "thou shalt not use the weapons of oppression and harm, even against the harmful oppressors".

josemarichal.bsky.social•67 days ago

It's not even effective. Dems are never going to effectively "out troll" reactionary right

ringoyote.bsky.social•67 days ago

More and more furry groups should do this rule, and posting AI art is an 2 strike rule.

First time is a warning because it clearly stated in the rules but you didn't read them.

2nd time is a ban.

austinaperson.bsky.social•67 days ago

The idea that you would need AI to make trump or Elon look dumb

lemurdreamer87.bsky.social•67 days ago

While Frank Miller is generally...Not Great, this panel is at least very useful when discussing such things.

terrymondry.bsky.social•67 days ago

👏👏👏👏

erisunveiled.bsky.social•67 days ago

I disagree about using AI art, but goddamn those Elon /Trump memes are just pure concentrated cringe

antimattr359.bsky.social•67 days ago

Seeing it more and more on FB, from otherwise sensible people on my friends list. It sucks and I hate it.

topazlight.bsky.social•67 days ago

If you need an image to accompany your mockery make a shitty image edit yourself in Photoshop or MS Paint or something as is time-honored shitposting tradition

lynxspider.bsky.social•66 days ago

Or a good one. @trumpsties.bsky.social

littleredmagahat.bsky.social•63 days ago

Damn straight, AI cheapens shitposting! Open up MS paint and draw with a mouse, have some dignity.

engtechnic.bsky.social•67 days ago

the time honored tradition of shitty photoshop and political cartoons, some people really have stopped putting in effort in their shit posts

marawilson.bsky.social•67 days ago

I got so much shit for saying this yesterday!

slcpgh.bsky.social•67 days ago

Which is absolutely ridiculous. AI is bad. Bad for the planet, bad for creative folks, bad for all the workers they want to replace with it. Bad for everyone.

It doesn’t matter what it’s used for.

digitaldraco.bsky.social•67 days ago

I think there's another, unexamined reason to keep speaking out about it, too.

isensiel.bsky.social•66 days ago

Boycott it for the planet! AI will destroy us all if we allow it!

poeticlicensedk.bsky.social•67 days ago

Hmm. Made me reflect.

What is it about AI art? Is it the replacement of artists by rapacious, plagiaristic intellectual property thieves?

slcpgh.bsky.social•67 days ago

Mostly, yes.

Also the absolute drain on out resources.

poeticlicensedk.bsky.social•67 days ago

Are you referring to the vast amounts of energy used by server farms, water for cooling, land for solar power farming, etc.? What are the hidden costs of AI?

bornangelauthor.bsky.social•67 days ago

That and the amount of energy we waste trying to weed through AI imagery on search engines now looking for good references for a specific project, or for a book cover, or such the like. Even adding “no ai” or the filter for it doesn’t catch it all because some people won’t admit they use AI.

poeticlicensedk.bsky.social•67 days ago

As a 6th grade math teacher specializing in learning disabilities, I need to be able to represent basic concepts to create "specially-designed instruction." Off-the-shelf AI can't yield sets of regular polygons or number lines yet. I've seen ppl use it to BS Admin.

slcpgh.bsky.social•67 days ago

THAT it seems to be good at.
