Please give us a way to turn off all this new AI shit on the BBS

… it’s already summarizing hidden text for us

Except of course, from what I’ve gathered, the issue that such AI content generators are trained on and draw from (in an unacknowledged and unpaid manner) the work of previous creative laborers.

As with other modes of capitalist consumption, I guess we’re not supposed to think beneath the shiny surfaces about what actually went into producing the shiny new things.

I guess the important thing is that the copyright liability in this case falls on the AI company rather than our own precious site? Makes sense to me anyway…

Hmm, I suppose, depending on the meaning of “important.”

I don’t know why you’re seemingly directing so much aggression toward me. I’m just another user here. That being said, if you’re so unhappy with how things are run here, you’re free to go elsewhere. You’re not owed anything.

If you’re that disappointed, then maybe this place just isn’t for you?

Absolutely; I didn’t mean to imply that just because Midjourney ‘solves’ a problem for the BBS, that said “resolution” is not problematic itself.

From a business standpoint, it makes sense; because it’s several additional layers of insulation from litigation - but that doesn’t make it even remotely ethical.

You seem rather emotionally invested in this subject…

I’m sorry @ficuswhisperer but this is fun. Here’s mine. The summary is shortening, and I love that the motto for the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation is in there.

Share and Enjoy!

but its neither “AI”, nor does it “grasp” anything. I know you know, but I still cant get over it how it became so mainstream to talk about LLMs as “AI” and implying it would even remotly “understand” something.

Oh damn, I didn’t even notice/hallucinate that myself. Happy new year, @Melizmatic !

Interesting long pause between the paragraphs there. Like it’s getting tired. Tired of people complaining about it.

Good.

Right back atcha, though a quick scan of all my comments shows that I never actually posted any such greeting in this thread.

Closest thing I can see is your mention of “resolution.” So close, but not really at all.

I know, and I didn’t mean to imply that you meant to imply that.

I was just adding on to what you wrote.
