Most of the things people make with AI lose their appeal once it's known it's fake. For that I don't understand why people bother making it then.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Seems like it's people who are incapable of making things without it, so they don't really have anything to compare it to

This may be the most upvoted post I've ever seen on lemmy

Lol you missed some big ones then, I think on one of my accounts I have a personal best of 1.6k or maybe a 1.7k post

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Oh. It's you.

[–] BetterDev@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

Oh well, survivorship bias I guess

This is the smartest goddamn meme I've seen this year. Do you have any idea how long this would take to fully explain to my mom? Incredible. No notes.

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

That doesn't mean the meme is smart. It means your mom is dumb. We still love her though. 😇

A bit presumptuous of you, but how many Nerotypicals do you know who have a working base knowledge of the types of anti-aircraft countermeasures that US bombers had to deal with during world war 2? Because that's where you'd have to start.

How does survivorship bias apply to seeing less AI? Does it mean that it’s like hidden now or something? I don’t get the meme!! 😭

[–] FaeriesWearBoots@sopuli.xyz 163 points 2 days ago (13 children)

It means you've lost the ability to identify it, BC there isn't any less of it

[–] hamsamrich@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

I am still seeing a lot of it, and blocking immediately, but now I feel like I must be blocking genuine human stuff on YouTube/Instagram. Good thing the fediverse is less contaminated

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Luckly the fediverse exposes AI way more too

I blocked them while I could still see it.

[–] megopie@beehaw.org 12 points 2 days ago

I block people who routinely post it.

And it turns out a lot of algorithm driven platforms will stop showing it if you react overwhelmingly negatively and refuse to engage with it and I just stoped using platforms that didn’t respect the signals.
