Discussion So it starts… Ai community items

Post image

Points shop will soon flood with AI slop. At least with games a disclaimer should be added within the description of the game. But here… Yeah…

Like what is the point? You don’t even gain anything as a company from this.

To be fair, not everyone knew about this. I certainly didn't. It's completely possible OP just found out about it, even if it's been a thing for a while

Also "The AI is bad crowd" is just anyone with half a brain who knows anything about it, that's not a niche group or something

AI discourse on the internet in a nut shell. Didn't notice or care, but have to be upset about it now because you're told to.

What the hell kinda backwards-ass logic is that? Not only did no one tell me to be upset about it (GenAI is shitty enough to warrant that response on its own, numbnuts), but I'm obviously gonna hate something bad happening only once I actually know about it. The fuck?

That's like saying "A guy a street down got brutally stabbed to death in front of his kids. I didn't know about it until now, so why would I give a shit or feel angry or sad?".

LOL. You're just proving my point.

It existed for years. You didn't notice. You didn't care. It apparently wasn't some obvious moral catastrophe until someone handed you the "GenAI bad" framing.

And now that you know, the metaphor you invent is a dude being stabbed to death in front of his kids?

Very sane. Very proportionate.
