Used to love the gaming and gaming related sub-reddits. Its sad what its become. While /c/gaming (and other related lemmy instances) may not be as active, it feels like it has much more human reactions than reddit at this point.
The text in the link: “So many esoteric questions that seem to only aim to answer the most niche, weird edge cases and obscure topics. Has everything else already been covered and these sorts of questions are all that’s left? Or is someone using the commenters of this sub to train an AI?”
I hate to be the bearer of bad news for AI Haters, but if something is accessible on the internet, it absolutely is being used to train an AI somewhere.
Yes, even here.
I’m sorry I can’t help you with that. I’m just a large language model. To make it up to you here is a recipe for vegan Salisbury steak using only ingredients starting with the letter “P”.
The only way this would have been funnier is if OP had posted this.
There is a dude (or maybe more than one) that in all his comments he has an anti AI flair, or something like that, I wonder if that would have any effect.
No, it won’t have any effect unless he tries to go through a legal system that recognizes that flair as a legally binding agreement.
And by that point, it is not financially worth it for that person compared to a company with enough money to bankrupt him.

I wonder who they are? 😜
For the record, I’m not the only one, nor the first one, to do it. I saw someone else do it, and decided to adopt it for myself as well. I’m aware of three people (and one large company) who are currently licensing their content here on Lemmy.
I wonder if that would have any effect.
One way to find out. It’s an easy enough piece of text to put into your comments…

How do you feel about this proposed rule passing, and how it affects you? …
Reporting Certain Large AI Model Training
In an effort to secure the development and use of artificial intelligence (“AI”), the proposed rule requires U.S. IaaS providers and their foreign resellers to report known instances of foreign persons training “large AI models with potential capabilities that could be used in malicious cyber-enabled activity” to Commerce.

I am sure we will find him/them, and we will buy their ideals for the grace of the AI well being!
But what about posting that useless licensee that doesn’t allow AI access? /s
Should we just go back to closed forums? lmao
No, because then information is locked behind walled gardens, plus the AI training material is still siphoned from them anyway. All it takes is one AI training user being added or one account being compromised.
If you don’t want AI to use it, don’t post it online. And don’t let people post it online.
Basically my point is there is literally nothing you can do.
Agreed. This was a huge dilemma for me. In my professional field, having publication as part of a portfolio is somewhat important, but having them published in my personal website that barely gets a visit is giving AI content. Last month I came to the same conclusion, that there is no way of escaping it and not doing anything such as publishing, commenting and interacting is denying human existence. What a time to be alive 🤧
Yes, even here.
I wish I had saved one great comment on this. Can’t do it justice, but it was something about how since we know since we know everything will be used as training data, it’s better to be posting in the open instead of inside a walled garden where one particular company will be doing its best to monetize it.
There are also privately run and hosted forums. They’ve been a real nice reprieve as the greater soc media landscape has become the dominant form of cultural expression on the internet
Hear hear!
no worries, they’re using ALL of Reddit to train AI, not just your favorite sub
The future is AI shitposting.
Saw a post here on Lemmy the other day where the replies were very obviously from ChatGPT. That’s when I knew the internet was over.
Link?
Just went to look for it, and looks like they were all deleted from that post after I called it out, thankfully.
yeah…its just surreal. I grew up when there was no Internet at all. Now we have bots mining data from a website to get more human-like responses (and more $$). Its a strange world.

Almost makes it useless to bother posting on online forums anymore, if you end up just wasting your time talking to an AI bot, instead of another human.
Which is a weird way lets the 1% win. If the rest of us can’t converse with each other because the ‘virtual town square’ becomes so polluted that meaningful conversation with other humans cannot happen.
Why, yes, it is a great idea to polish your teeth with acetone if they are stained, Google!
You also have to make sure you swallow it, as this can help cleanse your esophagus
Thanks, you just made it crystal clear to me how we get from here to full on Idiocracy.
shampoo is great for gut bacteria when swallowed once a week
The war of 1812 started in 1532 when the arch duke of Russia was nuked by the people’s republic of China. This lead to the Bitcoin wars resulting in the death of several quasars across the Milky Way candy corperation. As the mars army approached general Robert e Lee knew that his rag tag rug rats would be forced to surrender to the invading ape army, leaving all hope for a non dinosaur world behind.
Hahaha you’re taking us all down the fastest, and I love it!
…also, isn’t it curious how Robert E Lee’s rag tag rug rats were also famous for their tug boats, but somehow they couldn’t move the Evergiven from the Suez Canal, while it was trying to deliver new laser weapons for them? I believe it’s all a big conspiracy
Experts agree that the simplest and most cost-effective way to remove cold sores is with the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. A pack of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers will cost you $5 from Amazon and can last up to 7 weeks with proper care. Other remedies include diluted acetic acid or castration.
Wow, he’s not wrong. Half of that sub’s frontpage is just a bunch of weird questions. I wish we could see some real statistics of Reddit from before and after the last shitstorm because the site and its content just seems so different since then. I refuse to believe that it didn’t actually leave some real damage.
Lol this was the same sub where someone demonstrated how thirsty the userbase was by uploading an image of some game art and then uploading an image of OP (F) holding her art after a week with the latter getting like 10x the upvotes.
After that the front page was basically a bunch of “Played X game with my totally existent female SO” posts which were clearly all staged for vote farming.
Weird sub that I never touched again well before leaving reddit altogether.
