It’s not an overwhelming trend but I have noticed more AI/LLM content and comments on this sub compared to the old one (to be clear, most of it is suspected only and not significant enough to be provable). I have reported the most obvious and provable one so far which you can see here if interested.
No hate or negativity though ❤️ Thanks and respect to our mods; let’s just please keep our eyes open; part of what has always made this community beautiful is interacting with diverse people and their human voices!
I havent seen any AI posts here recently. Do you have examples?
Edit: Looks like I misunderstood and and I am allowed to call out examples. See here: https://lemmy.cafe/comment/9664400
I commented on one recently and mods reached out to me to let me know that calling out AI posts was uncivil (which I sort of get) so I will not be linking to any examples at this time.But yeah as I said in the post it’s not an overwhelming trend it’s just a bit more than there used to be.
Hi! I did send you a DM however in it I did not say that calling out AI is uncivil, I said that you should have just reported instead of taking part in an uncivil exchange. It is the opinion of me and the other mods that the comment in question did not impact the community in any meaningfully negative way and that there is no solid proof that it is written by AI.
Hi! Yes I received your DM and immediately cleaned up my comment to be as civil as possible. My comment included key evidence that the comment was written by AI.
It is my opinion that such comments do lower the value of the community due to their exorbitant length and zero novel contribution. (Not seeking a discussion here I just want my opinion to be seen by users.)
Alright, I am locking this thread before it gets too mean. Please remember these community rules:
- Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
- Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
The “Avoid AI generated content.” rule is primarily meant for posts, not comments. We also used the word “avoid” rather than make it an outright ban of everything AI because things aren’t always black and white. There is wiggle room in there, for example if there have been enough transformative edits to an image or meme. Please, lets just keep it lighthearted and if there are any issues, report to the mod team (Rule 3).
here? I haven’t seen one, or I’m just stupid.
I unsubbed from the old one so I dont know whats going on there
We have not seen any posts that appear to have been obviously generated by AI so far
Understood. As a committed member of your community, I encourage you you to reevaluate your identification tools or process as it is clear to me that this is not true.
It is the opinion of the mod team that a AI detection bot does not constitute evidence. also, I would like to repeat that we saw no other issues with the comment beyond the accusation that it is AI written.
to make it clear to the community we’ve had exactly 2 reports of AI generated content. 1 post and 1 comment. Only one report from spujb.
Thank you, Please let us know what constitutes evidence that you would act on. And of course there’s only one: I ONLY report the ones I myself am able to prove and never ones I simply suspect but are too short or benign to matter. :)
My goal here is
- let people know there is a rule (it’s okay if people maybe didn’t realize)
- encourage updating of your review process as it clearly has let LLM content through at least once
Edit: I misunderstood a mod DM and I am allowed to post call outs of examples so here you are: https://lemmy.cafe/comment/9664400
Yes, here unfortunately. I report the obvious ones but the mod team’s action process is clearly flawed as one super obvious one got left up. Hoping this post can be an encouragement for change! :)
That’s a comment not a post.
And your reasoning doesn’t sound good, I never used an “AI detection websites”, but generating an outline of an article is not the same as generating new-ish content based on a prompt.
LLMs are tools. There are good usecases which fit for them, like creating an outline of a long article, it can be seen as an accessibility tool, it can help people with ADHD read long articles.
And there are bad usecases like creating memes and shitty illustrations, and nonsense stories. Don’t be a luddite just because some people use a tool for the wrong thing. The comment you link doesn’t sound to me LLM generated at all, some people write like that, with hashtags and emojies. Why should I trust YOUR ai tool to always correctly detect another AI tool?
Silly goose I never said it was a post. 😝
Thank you for your insight. I disagree with all of your analysis. Plus it’s the rule of the community. I have no problem with AI content in communities that allow it.
It’s not an overwhelming trend but I have noticed a spike in AI/LLM contentand comments
Maaaaan you write this up there. I copied this from the top of this page, from your post. You call ONE COMMENT “a spike in content and comments”
What is content if you have to differenciate it from comment? You couldn’t show us a single post in this thread, a mod said there was one, NOT YOU.
Don’t call me a goose, this is a friendly community and you are fighting a nonexistant enemy. Please stop.
Hi! This is valid criticism
and I would edit my post but currently my instance is having issues with that—I have reached out to my admin.(fixed and edited! thanks again for pointing out my mistake)When I say “spike” I mean in content that I suspect of being LLM. To date, there has been only one comment which I believe I can prove was AI which is what I posted above. Sorry for the inclarity there—that is totally my fault.
I am sorry you were hurt by me calling you silly. It was the kindest way I could think of to efficiently tell you you were unfairly putting words in my mouth :) It was hurtful for you to do that
