It sure would be nice to have a different upvote/downvote culture. Not sure how to foster that.

Upvote for helpful, funny, otherwise valuable contribution.

Downvote for incivility, spam, off-topic, incorrect.

Note I never said agree or disagree. I upvote a lot of things I disagree with that add to the conversation. Although I also admit I stay far, far away from any political or serious discussion. I think what I am proposing is literally just original Reddiquette (it still is that, it is just that a lot of people do not follow it).

I do not think I can add anything to the upvote/downvote conversation for your specific post that the users have not already said on it. But I do appreciate you clearly marking off AI-generated content as such, and you putting effort into the community.

This will probably sound hilariously ironic, but maybe an agreed-upon AI model?

Nothing's going to be perfect, and any weakness can be counter-exploited by other AI, but maybe just maybe it could be a start?

Respect, and fist-bump. You seem a bit rarish with that. ^^

Thank you! I've been very careful to do it only 3x so far (and every time marking it explicitly) across ~400 posts, which is why I was taken aback by the hostile reaction. Also, whether one likes it or not, AI is here to stay, and my experience with ChatGPT was amazingly positive and helpful. So let's not shoot the messenger too much, okay?

Oh, and also-- IMO Lemmy badly, BADLY needs a tool like RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) which allows one to make running notes on other users, short of completely blocking them or whatever. I mean, we may not have cumulative karma across Lemmy, but there's gotta be some way to create a 'kind-space' for ourselves, no?

It’s impossible to recognise AI generated content already. If you know what you are doing when prompting. Just by the way. If you filter out AI you just filter out bad prompters

I'll be honest, not sure why I specifically am being replied to with this. I don't think I talked about how easy or hard it is to recognize AI content in the comment, or about whether it should be filtered out or not.

I do think you correctly assumed that I am very much not a fan of AI content when someone is trying to pass it as their own effort (I am guessing expressing appreciation for the user marking AI-generated content as such tipped you off?).

I tend to respond just because I want to talk about something sometimes because some comment reminded me of something and then try to loosely attach it to it. I guesssd it’s not the best habit

Someone told me I speak like I was talking to myself once

No worries! Discussions of AI feel like too serious a topic, too hot-button for me to feel great discussing online so I got wary. Thank you for clarifying
