I’ve been thinking, would it be worth creating a separate community for AI coding related articles and discussion? I know there is [email protected], however AI coding has a lot of overlap with [email protected].

I know some people have expressed they aren’t interesting in reading these articles, so a separate community would make it easier for them to filter them out. Rather than simply vote them down as they aren’t interested in the topic.

Or is it better to have broad communities in Lemmy given the current number of users?

    AI “programming” is not just something that people hate.

    It’s something that is wrong on a technical, moral, ecological and social scope.

    It’s like saying that you don’t want racists posts to be banned because “people always complain about something, some don’t like vegetables and some don’t like racism”

      You can’t compare racist posts, which are a form of hate speech and a breach of this instance’s code of conduct, with discussions about topics that you don’t agree with.

        AIs are effectively destroying the word, causing huge social and environmental issues.

        They might not have the same individual impact, but it is unequivocally and hugely immoral.

          I agree with you on that point, and the same could be said about the meat and dairy industry. However I don’t think the answer is censoring discussions about cooking beef or chicken.

            Not a perfect analogy, but as far as a lot of people’s sentiment goes, it would be more in line with a world in which only vegan cooking methods existed, but some people discovered that you could also eat animals. In which case it would be very understandable that recipes involving meat should not be discussed in existing cooking related communities.
