A place for all those who loathe machine-learning to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

An AI using what I say to train it will only make AI more like me. As far as I'm concerned, that's an improvement that may help others while not affecting my life one iota. It's not like it remembers who said what, it all just tweaks the algorithm.
Advertisers have been recording and storing what you say word for word to build a profile specific to you, containing your deepest, darkest truths so they can trick you into giving them more of your money. Who cares about AI training on publicly posted comments, it's just taking energy away from the real privacy issues.
Exactly!!! All this fear about AI being trained as if our data hasn't been being vacuumed for years and years now. Tracking profiles, fingerprinting, etc. There are legitimate things to get energized and concerned over, no need to make up fear-based narratives
In 2022 I was among the 1% of most karma awarded on reddit. Hadn't been banned anywhere.
Then in 2024 their IPO went public. A week later it was said that AI bots were now scrubbing the site to sell your data to google.
Within 3 weeks I was permanently banned, for 3 posts that had nothing wrong with them. One of them I understand how an AI would flag if its just using keywords. In context of the conversation nothing was wrong.
The other 2 didn't even have keywords which an AI would pick up on.
So my assumption is the AI scrubbed my data, started acting like me, which is to say an absurdist, and google didn't like the results of my data. So reddit banned me.
