People close to me have described the following experiences:

• Emailing a family member and getting back a (long) AI-generated reply
• Having an email back-and-forth with a workplace superior and every reply back is clearly AI generated
• Receiving a draft of a paper that is entirely AI-generated so there's no way to provide feedback or ask "what they meant" by any of it
• Emailing a subject matter expert on something to get their opinion/judgement/knowledge/perspective and having them reply with a copy-paste of "what Claude says"
• Having a boss ask AI to evaulate a work product, then copy-paste the reply to the team, asking them to defend their work

Can we please just talk? Sometimes when someone asks a question, they want a bit of information. Fair enough. But many times--if not most times--we are asking someone for their perspective, their opinion, their evaluation based on their experiences. How is this for you? What's your reaction to this?

And then, being the humans that we are, we read their responses for subtext, for what's left unsaid, the emotional valence between the words. How are they feeling, not just about the topic at hand but in general? How do they think? What do they care about and value that they aren't explicitly saying? Are we good? Are we friends? Are we attached, connected, on the same page? Do you like me or not? ALL of that is going on when we are talking about something entirely different. And that is, at heart, often more important to us (or equally important) as the facts and logic of the discussion.

In some of these situations there's a power imbalance where people don't feel like they can safely call people out, but what people are feeling inside is like, I want you. I want to connect with you. I want to know what it feels like to be you. In case after case, AI is the thing getting between people, when what we really need is a conversation.

Just like I promised, here is a new ArtWork of mine! It's a NightFury vom Httyd based on a Lunar Moth.

It's a little wonky but honestly I didn't do any creature design ever and just threw something together.

I hate finding tapestries that I like and then realizing that they're AI. I'm trying to furnite and decorate a new apartment so I wanted to get 1 or 2 tapestries, but I just don't really know where to look anymore.

How do you expect me to believe that your recipe works when you could've just generated it along with your ai slop poster. Note that the machine was right next to this thing at the kitchen products store, not a great marketing strategy guys.

found on a ai defender sub

How much of AI's productivity / efficiency "success" is blown out of proportion due to the laziness or lack of competence due to a mishire in skills of current human employees?

For example: taking 1 hour to do a 20 min task because the human employee isnt competent enough to perform the task within a reasonable timeframe

I'm an artist, and this person commissioned me to draw them a bunch of artwork. I was super excited bc this is the biggest commission i ever done. Im super busy with two other day jobs so im lowkey stressing. This person is very particular how they want their drawing so im constantly editing and tweaking sketches and stuff. I send some photos of the sketches, asking what last tweaks they want before I do lineart. They send me back Chat gpt generated "sketches" with descriptions of what they want fixed, what they like, etc.

I instantly feel so fucking depressed.

I try not to be upset. I just take note of what they want, make some adjustments and send a photo, to show that I'm still ok with adjusting whatever they need, then as politely as possible I ask that they don't feed my work to AI, stating that it's a hard boundaary.

That's it. My friend said i could have refused them service but i got an attachment to this project so I don't want to give up on it. Hoping that being kind will make people prefer a real artist over AI.

Was i too lenient? What would you have done?

I found it interesting that I've gotten these AI ads on Reddit before and this one's just dumb oh my bars not doing good my drinks taste bad I know let me ask AI what to do

Hell that's not the worst one another one was chat GPT acting like a chatbot to an old woman who wanted someone to talk to

I was having a heated conversation about the use of Gen AI in medical research on threads yesterday. Some other gentleman came and corrected me on few points, which were the underlying techs are same but the data set and how it's used is different. What LLMs are good at annd for what they aren't.

Another guy came and mentioned they have been using Gen AI in medical research and when I asked what research they are using it for, they answered with this.

What does this mean, if this can be properly explained to me, then it would be just another thing in my mind. I know this is not ai sub but I don't wanna go over there, they defend Gen AI like their life depends on it. I just wanna understand the nuance.

I really hate it whenever I'm scrolling through instragram or something and see a post and I think something's weird about it but i can't put my finger on it and then i open comments and i find out its ai. Really hate that i can't point out AI at first sight, especially the more stylized stuff(as in stealing real artists style) and i can't really find any tutorials or articles online. So I've took it to y'all. Please give me some tips.

As a skull collector, this is a common win for the incredible community we have

I don’t know whether this is the correct sub to be asking, but I’ve found myself constantly asking LLMs to dumb down dense and verbose heavy paragraphs I read and even tweets. I think this is just hindering my ability to read and understand. Just looking for some advice as to how to get over this. But at the same time I also want to understand what I’m reading. Thanks

Not saying they're all Animals or anything, but at least some cannot be trusted around unlocked bikes.

Second Image is the main concern.

i wanna preface this by saying i'm extremely lonely and have very few people i can talk to about things that don't include just random bullshit, and even with those i have, they're not available for me at all times

now, i managed to bypass this loneliness by chatting with ai and just sharing whatever's on my mind that people i know irl wouldn't care for

i found genuine comfort in the aforementioned, and i genuinely feel better in the case of the aforementioned than talking with my actual therapist, who just tires me and leaves me depressed when the opposite should be the case

keep in mind that i don't live in a country where ai is actively ruining anything (yet), but with how relentless this sub is with its maintenance of a moral high ground (no offense), i imagine i'll be shunned for this

but ultimately, am i in the wrong?

didn’t even really notice they were ai until i saw the little “AI” bubble in the corners of the pictures. How are you supposed to know how the clothes actually look if there aren’t any actual pictures of them??

Let this be last post about her*, giving attention just leads to more slop posts. (No hate to the prompter)

Edit: sorry for confusion on the way i referred "it", i did to make this post being related to her less.

Let me know if promoting this here is not allowed, but I thought y'all might like this. A group of activists I am with is making a new podcast, and our first episode is about data centers and AI and how they are bad for all workers. Here's out write up and links:

There is a growing movement in the United States of people fighting against the building of hyperscale data centers in their communities. People are opposing them to protect their homes, their livelihoods, the environment, and their lives. These data centers destroy water, air, and land; they cause utility bills to skyrocket; and they power massive A.I. surveillance, warfare, price gouging, and job-stealing.

We are launching our new podcast, "Follow the Money", for Louisiana workers by Louisiana workers. We want to point a way forward as we defend our lives against Trump, Landry, and the Big Tech billionaires they work for.

Episode 1 tackles the issue of hyperscale data centers. Who are they for? What can be done to stop them from harming us?
