Earlier today there was a thread posted from someone wanting to discuss the opinion of people about using AI as a learning tool for game development. Most of the thread was just honest discussion, the OP was absolutely not at all coming in to argue in bad faith. This thread has since been removed, and that person has been banned afaik.

What is the point of this sub? In the stickied thread the mods say this:
> Hence, the birth of this subreddit. We strive to foster critical discussion about all topics encompassing AI, and we hope for the conversation to be of a higher quality than the agitprop in certain AI spaces. How can individuals prepare themselves for the future? How can we slow or regulate this technology from destroying life as we know it? How can we preserve the natural beauty and wonder inherent to our planet as conscious thoughtful beings? Let's discuss. These are the conversations we need to be having. More of this and less "look at this screenshot from a pro-ai subreddit, aren't they stupid!".
Is that no longer the case? If someone is on the fence about some part of AI, are they banned for that if they want an honest discussion? Is this place just another echochamber for people to shitpost memes and karmafarm? How exactly is this sub a better place for discussion then pro-AI places if the mods are doing the exact same thing they are and removing threads if somebody dares to be on the fence about a particular usecase of LLM's..
Look at these threads:

All of these are from the front page of the sub. Does this not fall under "Look at this screenshot from a pro-ai sub, aren't they stupid"?
I am genuinely curious if this is the work of one power hungry mod or if this is what this sub is supposed to be? It feels like a gigantic waste of time to try and have open discussions if the threads are just going to be removed the second someone is on the fence instead of circlejerking with the rest of the sub.
