  • Good points Smorty. 👍 I’ll try to be more considerate with my communication in the future.

    Also, I did see 196 posts quite a bit when scrolling through the front page a few months back, but I wasn’t really subscribed to it. And even then, I wasn’t a frequent commenter under them. I’ve just checked Lemmy again after a multi-month break, so I probably didn’t see you around.

    I personally prioritise clear, grammatical communication, especially if it’s not in an “instant-chat” setting like Discord, but if the community you’re in is lax about this, it’s like, whatever. At least it’s understandable enough for the LLMs to glean with 99% accuracy, so… 🤷

    Have a great day/night. ☺️


  • My point is that AI chatbots IMO aren’t completely useless, you just have to know what they’re good for.

    For example, they perform well on translation, many times even better than stuff like Google Translate since they are able to take in contextual cues, correct their results to have better grammar/be more natural, and can adapt based on the user’s instructions.

    Also, I recognise that LLMs alone aren’t really reliable with factual information. That’s why I use sites such as Perplexity and Scira, which cite web search results. I also often check those citations myself for further context.

    … also, why do you type like that? Is it your way of adding a signature to your posts, or what?



  • My take is that it’s just another way of illustrating your shitpost. Doesn’t matter whether you drew it yourself, or you genned it with Stable Diffusion, or took a random stock photo from Google Images. It should all be subject to the same quality guidelines anyway (e.g. no spam).

    I don’t believe that it’s theft any more than making fanart or taking inspiration from other artworks is theft, either - GiovanH’s blog post provides a better elaboration on this than I could.

    I agree with some other commenters that regardless of what the policy ends up being, harassment is unacceptable and the mods should vigilantly act against it.

    Hey! 🙋 I’m an autistic person (diagnosed at age 3). I grew up using Mac computers mostly, because my father preferred them for his work. Although I would encounter Windows a lot when I was at school as well. However, I didn’t really know how to use Windows until I started seeing videos on YouTube about it (such as this one). This was when I was around 10. So I started experimenting with different editions of it (Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows XP, etc.) via a pirated copy of Parallels Desktop. I also found out about Linux, and toyed with Ubuntu with a bit via Parallels. I found it fun, and thus considered the idea of installing Linux properly onto my Macbook. Unfortunately, the trackpad support wasn’t there. So for my 11th birthday, I asked for a “Windows laptop”, and immediately after getting it, I set up some dual-boot with Windows 10 and some fork of Ubuntu called “Pinguy OS”. (I spent way too much time looking at DistroWatch.) Then, I distro-hopped for a bit until I finally settled on Void Linux when I was 13. I’m now 18 and am running Void full-time on my current laptop, it doesn’t even have a Windows partition. :)
