Earlier today, I posted an ai generated image. I thought it’s a very good image. I wanted to share it because it was something special I hadn’t seen before. The post was removed after a while. The removal made me think.
What happened?
An “ai” generated a series of images of which a human selected one and shared it in a forum. It is coincidence that it was the first image that yielded the best result.
The ai could’ve posted the image itself. It wouldn’t have needed a human. And even if it needs a human today to select the image, it might not need a human tomorrow to judge if a picture is of higher quality.
If we allow ai generated content in a forum where humans interact with each other, we risk our conversations and interactions. If we let a computer post what we read and see we lose our community life. We end up interacting only with machines and not humans.
I remembered a news story that facebook started artificial profiles on facebook/instagram. It would post only artificially generated content. 10 years ago it was important to facebook that we proof that we are human and no bot or alt account. Today facebook is only profit driven. It does not care if humans or robots interact with each other. It’s cool that there are machines now.
I do not want to see posts of a computer, I do not want other people to see this content and interact with it. It is an incredible technology. It’s astonishing what we achieved so far and what we will achieve in the future.
I do not want to live in a world where we interact with machines and can not distinguish between human reality and fiction. I am deeply sorry. I have thought about it and I am greatful that I have a better understanding of it.
Honestly I counted the fingers on the image to make sure I was not been bamboozled into a LOTR AI meme
Shit, now I just counted the fingers to make sure this wasn’t some sort of inception bamboozling in a bamboozle.

The first user I blocked was the AutoTL;DR bot. GTFO with machine summaries.
How to Use ChatGPT to Summarize an Article: ChatGPT tends to oversimplify things or even hallucinate sometimes, so fact-checking is essential.
Which means I’m discussing articles with people who read dumbed-down hallucinations of articles.
I like them for a quick overview, like the introductory paragraph of a wikipedia article. I hadn’t questioned that bot so far
Everyone’s own version is a hallucination too

I’m going to ask you next time I want to post something, alright?
Haha cute, but you will have to hand in a 300 words paper detailing your posts and they need to be written in times new roman, size twelve and to be handed in two days before posting.
