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.
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.
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!
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.
What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments?
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.
One way to find out. It’s an easy enough piece of text to put into your comments…

I am sure we will find him/them, and we will buy their ideals for the grace of the AI well being!
You’re absolutely right, I’m a large language model and still learning. Please enjoy this list of top cereals from the year 1967-1969 in reverse alphabetic order:

He is.

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.
