This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I love the anti AI crowd. They hate AI use but they can't tell what is AI or not, so they just say everything is AI. That way they'll cover it all. I remember this post from several years ago, if I had to guess it was probably 8 years ago when it was first posted.

Tbf. a bunch of people (myself included) are very careful of calling something out unless there's very good reason to believe it's LLM crap. There's really no reason to believe this greentext is generated by an LLM.

I mean, I would generally call myself part of the anti AI crowd.

But that means I hate how its being used and inplemented in society, by people, how much money is getting thrown at it, how many people are acting like it is or is going to be something it currently isn't and can't be.

I hate how many companies are rushing headlong into it and fucking up workflows, security standards and workforces, how many corpos are just lying and saying they're doing AI related restructuring, to mask that they're actually just collapsing as a company... etc.

But, theres many more approaches to AI than just LLMs.

Theres many more ways LLMs can be designed or implemented or trained than the way we're currently doing it.

... I run a lightweight local LLM on my damn Steam Deck.

What I don't do is go around making claims and accusations wildly, with no basis, no ability to defend what I am saying.

I agree with you that running around screaming basically 'everything I don't like is AI' is incredibly immature and annoying.

But its very possible to have a more credible and consistent view of and behavior regarding AI than that.

Like, my instance has a ton of comms devoted to AI art. I don't care for them, by and large.

So I just block them, so I don't see them, as opposed to constantly telling them that AI art is shit, in every post.

Everybody wins.
