Do as you want, some people will use the checkbox, other won’t. Some will block people that post AI content without telling them or report it to the mod team. Some mod may flag AI content, i’m part of them, i will flag them if i can do so.

Personal opinion, i consider, given the current trend, we need to build a place where we can trust each other.

You may not be aware of the current state of server management. Lot AI bots were spotted or repported. There is 2 kinds of AI bots : crawlers and chat bot.

Crawler are uterlly destroying the server capacity : they take lot bandwidth so the speed our pages’s load is affected. They also take lot memory ressource. A sysadmin shared his experience on how his hard drive were burnt by crawlers. He admitted he didn’t put any defence system as Anubis.

And there is chat bot interacting with users. That’s a more serious problem because of their influence : they may follow a political agenda. You don’t know why it is here nor who use them. You may not spot them and interact with them. How would you fell if you spent hours interacting with a bot instead of a human ? Bad. Not happy. You will start being suspicious of anyone, everyone.

Being careful anytime is exhausting. Verifying is exhausting. But you can offer users a way to trust you and chose.

That’s mostly the reason why this checkbox exist :

• because of AI content
• because we want a place were we can share our opinion and trust each other.

So it’s not about you. It’s about trust.

Why so ? It is informing other that your meal has meat or not. :)

But, sorry i think it doesn’t answer my question :

why do you fell pressured using it ?

Sad that people use systems like this to be manipulative and I’m pressured out of using it myself

I may misunderstood but did you told me that you use AI because other people use it. Or were you talking about flaging AI content ?

“Systems” refers to “AI” or the "flag AI” ?

If you have good ressource on ecological side of AI and rare earth, i’m interested because i don’t have lot informations. Most of the tell us that they are building nuclear reactor. You may want create a post and invite use to raise our knowledge on these topics.

Most of my knowledge come from the ADEME (french ecological structure that analyse various situation), and they did predict metal ressource depletion around 2050.

More exactly, digging machine will have a lower mining rate for a given ressource. We will have to remove lot more earth to find iron, copper… it’s the same problem for oil.

And for the misuse of AI, that’s the scale of it that worry my the most : governement and big tech. Especially big tech, i’m fearfull of them. I would prefer a collective solution : made by people, for people and respecting human diversity and right.

I haven’t given example of OpenAI but Microsoft is one of its main investor. They were at Trump meeting with other american big tech. So my trust that was already low dropped to the bottom. 😅

Why do you fell pressured using it ?

Name one resource you think is “beyond sustainability”. Rare earth? Water? Energy? None are and this meme really has to die.

It is not a meme, it is happening and i know that you work there and are probably the most knowledgeable person among us.

However, you can’t dimiss that they do use ressource as water, rare earth…The problem is that they benefit outrageous funds and double their calculation power each year.

There is also a huge difference in what a good artist can produce in one hour and what I can produce in one hour. Yet my work is considered (pretty reasonably) to be of less value. There is no inherent value in spending time on a work if the result is considered good enough.

That’s not about the result but the road to learn through hardship how to create something. It create a feeling of fullness. If you give yourself more time, you could achieve a good work instead relying on a third party and tell your kid “i did it”.

Hmmm, no? In almost any case I can think of.

You really think they never used it to change our history narrative ? It is not something new, the Trajan column in Roma serve the same purpose.

The french “resistance”. They removed the video since but it was published by our government :

China trying to take over Taiwan :

Being the fault of someone is not my point. I explain why the option to flag AI content is needed.

The goal is to empower people by giving them a choice. A set of tools, options to create their own space along mod team.

It is the belief that we can stand up and purpose solutions to allow people to remove AI content from their timeline. It is also a defence system for everyone and create space where we think and write our own opinion.

You use less resources generating an image than using photoshop for a few minutes

The current trend is buying energy generator, lot gpu…i think the scale of those ressource is already beyond sustainability. Be it in a individual scale or industrial scale.

Authors often use references from internet as well. The contribution is similar.

No because it is centralized under a name (open AI, deepseek…) and it’s an “industrial” production. No human can create that much content in a short time.

And people use references, but they did it with their how hands and mind. That’s a huge difference, they put effort to create something inspired by, copied…

LLMs and image generators are different.

Both are used for the same purpose, I provided example : deepseek in Taiwan and grok. There is also openAI that Trump could use to influence a country. We are already here.

On the good side, AI can be used for auto subtitle, creating posters, researching new treatement, making paralysed people walk…but, they also use it to influence people.

So to come back to the topic, this is a good option that we can flag ai content.

People are against ai for ethical reasons for example :

• Pollution. You use gpu and data center to generate an image. Rare metal, electricity
• Author protection. Yes we can’t alway pay for artist and the outcome will be less paid work. And most of picture that were feed to ai come from internet.
• AI is mostly a tool the feed users what they want to hear. Opinion manipulation from big tech or governement. For example China use deepseek against Taiwan. Grok against “woke”…

So people do have a right to identify AI generated content.

Personal opinion for a distant futur :

My worst fear is that we will come to a point where we won’t be able to distinguish AI generated content.

Then we will lose because we will have no meant to protect against it. So it will create some new movement as no tech or cooptation social network as scuttlebutt.nz, p2p and federated network will close.

Very cool, great news. Do the LAPD works ? :D

My first hitchhiking ride was when i lived in the countryside for the first time. At my 30s, i didn’t have any drive permit. Usually i move with my bike, train and bus.

For me, usually people are nice but that was also the scariest experience. Travelling with unknown people isn’t my forte :)

If you are into text based chat with lot channels & topics and the ability to move discussion into a topic, i would recommend zulip. I find it better than Matrix.

you can try the zulip chat of piefed : https://chat.piefed.social

Mind it doesn’t support visio chat.

Hi ! you posted in the wrong community. Try this one : !manga@ani.social and remove your post. :)

Not really but there one retro theme that i love : irix1998

But i did it alone, so i stopped it.

Well, i wonder if we could automate the process. For example, if i tag a post with flairs, they could be added in a wiki.

Like this ? Sorry, they are french post :

• list of video game : https://jlai.lu/post/6580021
• list of post classed by theme : https://jlai.lu/post/6627535

Yeah the wiki is basic but it does its job. I enjoy a lot creating wiki and create lot ressource. It takes time but overtime it will be very valuable. :3

If you are interested, you can invite sopuli to create piefed instance if they haven’t. There is lot cool feature that will boost your experience.

So what wiki do you want to create ? :)

Merci infiniment ! :D

The downvote for ? You don’t question why we contact him here and the comment below suggested he may be a spambot…
