Removing comments which aren’t in violation of guidelines seems like it’s against our norms, but I wanted to verify

    My comment was on this post: https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/7541388

    I said something to the tune of

    please stop posting this ai slop. It’s an affront to the human AI professors who teach this when you regurgitate their work poorly through these machines

    And I listed a couple of universally well regarded instructors like Andrew Ng

        I replied on that thread, but I’m copying it over for transparency:

        If that reads as beratement, I do apologize as a self crit. Yet if I were to hold the same level of consideration, there are many comments in this post that also warrant removal because I certainly don’t feel respected

        To the point of complaining isn’t useful, that’s why I also included resources for anyone who wants to learn. Not a defense, but reflecting intention

        Moreover, I accept the criticism that there are more helpful approaches. It would take much more time to correct the factual errors but that would be a start

        Personally I don’t see how asking people not to post AI generated information vs linking to human based and vetted resources is gatekeeping, but I accept that standard if it is

        All that said, i just realized we don’t have any explicit rules against misinformation, which was my fundamental issue.


        As an aside, and as someone who cares about language and non violent communication, I don’t think I made any personal attack upon the poster. I talked about my feelings, not the poster themselves.

        It’s one of my personal pet peeves when people misconstrue my words

          If there was a problem with the information provided, or factual mistakes, then it would be perfectly reasonable to point that out and provide sources you prefer using. However, simply attacking the post for using LLM summary is not constructive or helpful. Misinformation is something being factually wrong not coming from a source you don’t like.

          Meanwhile, it should be pretty clear that coming in to tell people that they’re posting slop is an attack on them. Somebody spent time learning something new, they wanted to share it. You came in and started berating them. If you don’t understand how that’s an attack then perhaps do a bit of self reflection.

      You know the rules and are surprised to have a comment rm’d that breaches the rules? I’m nonplussed and furthermore agree you be at least temporarily relieved of moderation duties until you grasp a better understanding of the community scope. This is akin to a certain instance’s mod being attacked for abiding by that other instance rules. I don’t like the instance rules and agenda, but people need to address the instance admin or get off the instance if they don’t want the mod to enforce the rules, even if it gives that mod license to a personal agenda I strongly disagree with.
