MODERATORS
 

/c/fuckai has two dozen mods but ironically only time I've ever seen them take action on anyone was when they removed my post asking for recs for a community with more active moderation (lol)

I'd like to discuss generative AI from a highly skeptical perspective but with higher standards of quality and without all the mouth-frothy raging and bad memes of /c/fuckai.

Does anywhere else like that exist on the fediverse? I don't care if it's small/underutilized. And no I'm not interested in creating it myself.

Your quest is flawed from the outset.

You should be looking for a community to honestly and openly discuss AI, not one with a prescribed viewpoint from the outset.

The fuckai and fuckcars and fuckwhateverelse communities can be satisfying but they are fundamentally biased, and tend to reinforce self righteous viewpoints that are emotionally satisfying in the short term, but reductively mischaracterize the situation and motives involved to the point that it leaves people with an angry, hollow, and unsatisfying perspective on the world.

I do not consider critical thinking skills to be a "viewpoint". I consider them a requirement for intelligent conversation.

You're not thinking critically when you start from a conclusion. That's the opposite of critical thinking. That's literally just continuing to believe and not question something.

If you don't want honest advice then ask an AI for an answer, they're programmed to butter you up and reinforce your bubble.
