I get why people don’t like it, but when I scroll lemmy and see a post which looks like it has a decent level of engagements I’m finding an endless stream of replies that are always the same.
“Is this ai?” “Looks like it might be ai” “Ai slop” “This is ai, look at the [feature]”
Communities should set a rule to allow ai or not. Allowing ai but it must be declared could be a decent approach.
If there isn’t a rule in the community that prohibits ai, I really wish people would cool it.
There are several reasons why people may be hesitant to see LLM-generated content on social media:
Authenticity Concerns: Users may feel that LLM-generated content lacks the personal touch and authenticity of human-created content.
Misinformation Risks: There is a fear that LLMs can produce misleading or false information, contributing to the spread of misinformation.
Quality Variability: The quality of LLM-generated content can be inconsistent, leading to frustration when users encounter poorly constructed or irrelevant posts.
Emotional Connection: People often seek emotional resonance in social media interactions, which can be absent in automated content.
Manipulation and Bias: Users may worry that LLMs reflect biases present in their training data, leading to skewed or harmful representations of certain topics.
Over-saturation: The potential for an overwhelming amount of automated content can dilute the value of genuine human interactions.
Privacy Concerns: Users might be concerned about how their data is used to train LLMs and the implications for their privacy.
Job Displacement: There may be anxiety about the impact of LLMs on jobs related to content creation and journalism.
Lack of Accountability: Users may feel that LLM-generated content lacks accountability, as it is not tied to a specific individual or source.
These concerns contribute to a general skepticism towards the integration of LLM-generated content in social media platforms.
Ironically, this reads like an LLM wrote it. That’s also supported by the fact it hasn’t really got much to do with what I said. I’m aware of the reasons why people may be hesitant to see ai content. I’m tired of people complaining and scrutinizing instead of anything being done to update community rules.
I thought it was super obvious that it did.
People don’t vote based on community rules. You should disabuse yourself of that notion.
