I don’t think it’s a gross distortion of reality. Your reaction kinda proves my point.
There were so many people here who were like “Umm downvote cause AI”
OP clearly said they reshared what they found, so they didn’t use the AI either.
So I figured id help and I even made the nice non AI version and took the time to not even pick that pedophile Drake, and who doesn’t love Miku?
You still got upset that you got called out and lashed outward instead of checking yourself inward.
Also, literally told to my face that it was good Indians were colonized cause at least that brought capitalism there, as tho free trade never existed in the region before. 🙄
I think you are greatly overstating my reaction here. All my comments are relatively long because I suck at being concise and I don’t want to be misunderstood, but I maybe should have been a bit wiser and notice that there are literally no good intentions or good faith in your attitude. It is after all required to act in bad faith to get this defensive about AI slop and get this far assuming other people’s intentions.

I’m sorry about this, I guess? I quite literally did not mean this and it came to me as a surprise that you got this from my comment, and it’s the reason why I am replying once again. I apologize if I said something that implies this or results from colonial bias implying this. I want to make it clear that this claim is very much not in line with my world view. It is also not clear to me what I said that led to this misunderstanding.
That said, this apology is certainly half-hearted. I have enough reasons to assume that you are acting in bad faith and pulling the most inflammatory accusations you possibly can.
The miku meme is cool, though. I wish it wasn’t accompanied with such an incendiary caption.
You’re literally sitting and complaining about the P’s and Q’s. There’s a bunch of people in the comment section literally going slop slop and not caring about what’s being said.
So maybe it wasn’t for you. Have you considered taht?
Its like saying all men are suck, if you’re the type to get upset by that then you’re the problem.
I want to assume we got off on the wrong foot. If you like the meme, and OPs meme then the caption wasn’t for you. Teh caption was literally for OP.
I’m sorry for any misunderstanding.
Its frustrating to be told no how you’re saying what you’re saying is incorrect, when what’s being said is pretty important. If you can ignore what I’m saying then you’re also justifying what happened, cause the medium is more important than the message.
I hope that clarifies why I’m frustrated.

Fair, but you lashed out at me directly, you referred to my reaction specifically, and I have the responsibility to take seriously criticism that is a priori directed at me, lest I say “heh, they’re not talking about me” when you do mean something I, specifically, said or did wrong.
I think your frustration over the “form over content” concern trolling is completely legitimate and justified, but I also think that you are wrong at underestimating the massive problem that generative AI entails, which other comments were concerned about. Is this post not the place to do so? Yogthos has been spamming this community lately with AI slop memes, and making fun of anyone displaying any concern at all. OP has also contributed a fair bit to the spam. The content of those memes themselves are pretty reasonable and they tackle issues that need to be talked about. They can all be talked about without contributing to AI companies burning the world faster than it ever has burned before.
Where is the place to talk about this? AI slop is not moderated against, so it needs to be discussed somewhere. I understand that your ideology is one such that imperialist damage on the Global South takes priority over generative AI, and I think that is reasonable, but you need to respect that the damage caused by generative AI is also a genuine concern (that also disproportionately affects the Global South!) and people have a right to be angry about that in the space they have available for it.
I do agree genAI has issues, but I see it as a tool.
But I also don’t criticize the medium people use to talk about oppression and focus my attention on less useful uses of this tech.
So many worms, that I don’t think we can put back in their cans.
So I’m coming at it from a now what are we gonna do about it pov
I also think we are arguing on nuances at some point and we should get a beer/other beverage of choice, first ones on me.
Yknow this whole exhausting discussion could be avoided by simply not using Ai tho, not because of any moral reasoning but because the fact we are even arguing about this is taking away from the point being made. Rather than get mad at how people react to Ai, just consider if even using Ai is worth the inevitable derailment it’s causes.
Or, yknow don’t assume the worst of people? You haven’t lived in their shoes and don’t know their experience. Do the thing taht actually makes us human, communicate
Nope, no assumptions are necessary to notice someone spreading AI slop and determine that at best they’re misguided and at worst they’re using the planet-destroying plagiarism machine on purpose to influence people.
If you think a message is important, but not important enough to actually spend time and effort on spreading the message, you never really thought the message was important, you just wanted the validation people give you for spreading the message.

Damn, and you’re being shit on for lightly spelling out the subtext when your intuition was right all along.

This comment does not follow from anything I said. It’s mostly just confusing that you are reacting this way
