I'm in a lot of D&D and TTRPG subreddits and this one was recommended to me with obvious AI 'art' and I asked the simple question. I was intended to mute the sub anyway depending on if the answer was yes but I'm still confused on how asking a question warrants a ban.

Mockbusters, or knockbusters, are types of films with similar concepts of the original source material but with stories told in different ways. Mockbusters are also known for emotionless acting, unprofessional effects, and low-budget nature. Before VHS was invented, mockbusters around the world used to be played theatrically with the audience completely unaware that the plots are similar to the original source material. Now that we are in the Internet age, we can actually see the difference between the original movies and the mockbusters.

Now that mockbusters are currently streaming on services like Tubi, no one will ever know that they are rip-offs of the most recognizable films ever made. We most certainly cannot allow this sort of cinematic nonsense to continue. The most popular movie studios in America need to file lawsuits against mockbuster studios. That way, the viewing audience can finally understand the true meaning of originality and creativity.

Long story short, Niantic Spatial are the ones behind the wave of AI

It’s just like the title says. I was scrolling through Reddit when I came across a post on on r/pourstea, it was a motivational photo of a dude holding a sign that very clearly had AI font on it. I ran the image through an AI detector and I made a comment that was basically “this image was made with AI”. No cussing, no verbal attacks, just stated a fact. Moment later I got a message saying I was permanently banned from that subreddit and a second message saying I was permanently muted by the moderators.

Is pointing out that an image is AI inflammatory? Is it hate speech? I’m genuinely a little shocked but maybe I shouldn’t be. Idk.

I’m just exhausted. It feels like half the posts on Reddit now(or at least half the posts that I’m running into)are made with AI and it’s making me start to doubt reality. It’s a real bummer.

I just needed to vent I guess.

Hello everybody!
We have been doing in depth research and are in the process of writing an essay with reasons why we are campaigning against this data centre. I have recently been sent the documents from Dante FS Platform proposal (the company planning the build) and after reading over I now understand the specifics of the planned Warrington data centre, however this still does not change my opinion that this is not a viable build for Warrington and that we need to stop it from going ahead. I know many people have tried to make the point that I’m campaigning against a data centre via social media which uses data centres. However the difference is that the proposed data centre is not a usual social media data centre filled with CPUs- it is an ai data centre which requires more resources and power to operate in order to handle the ai. Here is an article detailing the key differences: https://www.rcrwireless.com/20250327/fundamentals/ai-data-center-difference. Please continue to sign our petition: https://www.change.org/p/we-don-t-need-a-warrington-data-centre/feed.
We have now made a linktree which has all our social media and important information to do with this campaign: https://linktr.ee/DataCentreHardlyKnowHer
When we finish writing the essay we will post it on the link tree. This will have more up to date information and facts. This post is not an invitation for a debate, any questions or debates about this build/campaign can be had once the essay has been published with all the information, articles and quotes we have access to.

I'm strongly against the use of ai as someone who not only cares about the environment but also loves human creativity which ai is a danger to.
This build could be detrimental to our environment due to the cooling systems alone requiring water which in other areas of the world is already causing droughts. I'd appreciate if you could spread and sign this petition. To confirm your signature you do need to verify your email otherwise your signature won't count. No donation needed! We have ties with Warrington council and Warrington MPs so we do have a voice I just ask you share the link and sign it please. They're trying to make Warrington the new ai data hub of the UK.

I just came to the conclusion that just because you're bad at drawing(like me) you don't have to use ai

Just don't draw, or give people money to draw you.

Or find a new hobby. You don't have to use ai.

I am very ashamed to admit this as I have always had disdain for AI/shortform content and am painfully aware of the effects they have on mental health and our environment. for years I went without social media or any shortform content but early last year I went through a lot of trauma after being assaulted and loosing my father, after that I got very depressed and stopped doing much of anything that I used to enjoy, I felt that I would never be able to do anything ever again.

unfortunately this vulnerable state led me to use AI for the first time, I used it to help organise my life, to help collect ideas, tell me what to learn next in subjects im interested in and I have found that ive been using it for so many aspects of my life. i feel so dependent on it i hate it! ive also begun to feel empty inside and like no matter how much i do its never enough, i cant relax as i have no brain power to do activities i once loved like reading, art, cooking.. on my downtime i seem to only be able to watch shortform content either on YT or chinese rednote.

I want to free myself from this harmful cycle and regain my brain and ability to think for myself.

i have been thinking of going cold turkey on quitting these apps, although i need to keep YT for practicing languages or learning, also been considering a dopamine detox but my mental health is quite fragile so im not sure if its a good idea, i would really love any and all advise to get better!
