@Schizophonia welcome back ! I think she did, or took a prolonged break. Loved her expression on the forum

@Breakingthewall he thinks he doesn't HAVE a viewpoint 😂😂😂

No, AI ADDs a layer of abstraction over the authentic expression of the person. You are adding AI. You aren't removing anything. You are literally adding onto expression by using it. Literally.

I didn't express a perspective relating to that topic, so there is nothing to judge against the moderation position. I merely called attention to your behaviour.

It might be worth inspecting this perspective as a limiting view.

Don't worry about it too much. James isn't going to shift frame, so he's unlikely to ever truly understand your perspective. As a result, his focus remains on correcting rather than understanding. His intention doesn't seem to be exploring anyone else's unique point of view. He appears more interested in telling his own story than hearing anyone else's.

You're pretty much describing misandry - which is heavily feminism adjacent in online rhetoric and ideology. It's sad, the corruption, that is being served to young women 😢

Brah no - I like you popping in and out Just own it - I do. User: 'You are such an aggressive mod' 'You make so many mistakes' Me: 'Yeah, I can be aggressive. I was aggressive there. Direct' 'Yep, I make shitloads of mistakes, so what? My bad. The best apology is a change in behavior' People go back and forth on decisions all the time. The most mature people understand and don't care. Those who fixate on the errors or inconsistency of others are either inexperienced, insecure, or more interested in scoring points than understanding people.

Let the hype train roolllllllll At great risk of overhyping - but anticipation is half the fun!

I've tried to point to this in similar topics before - I think there is a LOT of misandry cloaked in the virtue of feminism in the 4th wave movement. It's not true feminism.

To me this argument centres around 4th wave feminism. You apply some fixes to cracked glass, patch them up. Gradually you come up with "policy" to mend all the cracks so everything is good again. But after a while, once we get to the stage of all cracks mended and we are polishing the surface - there's only so far you can go before you grind away the thickness of the glass, only to have it collapse and crack again until it's own weight. Generating a whole explosion of new issues - cracks. First waves of feminism - cheers, did good. Online feminism and 4th wave? No.

Exactly this - with this website as context. The whole idea is users come and exchange their genuine thoughts and insights. If I wanted to chat to a fucking chatbot I would do that, not log on there for some verbal jousting. And it's dead easy to spot users who suppliment or copy paste with AI. Copying slabs of text is easy to spot, but there are a whole host of users who chuck other's posts into AI, let it formulate arguments and use the AI reply as a basis to loosely re-write a reply post. The replies are a mixture of the users tone and a stuccato sputtering of shotgun points with all personal creative writing traits gutted out. It's wre-written JUST enough to pass AI detection, but not enough to pass the bullshit detector humans have. One of the biggest tells is contextual guardrails programmed into the AI being transmitted through its tactful navigation with words. You get this fucked up text with the users natural cadence minced in with the typical AI argument architecture. And when you push the user, they either barely recall what was posted (no retention unlike when it is typically 100% self genered) or continue to plug into AI for a response and give more arguments they don't have the ability to understand. Anyway rant over lol. Goes against the spirit of the forum.

Do you think this will suppliment human / human relationships, or act as a deterrent? It could go either way. I suspect there will be onflow effects of people coping with loneliness with AI. It will depend on the user themselves and their temparement. I often wonder if those who look to develop a relationship or connection with AI are skewing their own capacity for relationship down. Real human relationships involve things AI fundamentally lacks; genuine mutual vulnerability, independent desires and boundaries, unpredictability and the possibility of rejection, negotiating between competing needs. Even shared consequences in the real world. All these are pretty uncomfortable, but they are features not bugs. These elements are what I think make human relationships transformative. AI can exist to simulate some of the friction, but it ultimately exists to respond to the user. The risk could be that human / human relationships feel like a burden in comparison to ones with AI. But this effect isn't just isolated to AI either - you could argue similarly about texting replacing face to face interaction. People still from connections despite this. So it might not have any lasting effect on real relationships (using AI as a cope for loneliness). At a guess I'd say AI will just amplify existing tendancies. Most modern technology and advancement seems to simply be amplifying what already exists in humans and the social domain, rather than directly be the cause.

@zurew boss, I'm on it. We going deep 🧩🔍
