To people who's making reddit a nice place to hang. Whether it's an upvote , a sweet comment or a inspiring post, you all make a positive impact and I just wanted you to know that I see you and your efforts and you're likely the people who's most hard on yourself too so tap yourself on the shoulder for me and feel that proud tap. Thank you for existing and making reddit enjoyable.
Many against AI argue they're confident for calling any popular text post AI/Ad/Bot, but to me they're just self-sabotaging and exposing insecurity.
They had the opportunity to be someone you can interact with under a positive content, a confident nice person to share ideas tips insights with and focus on humans and connect.
But if all they say is "AI AI AI." like they're possessed, they have already said no to human interaction and even tells people to use AI where they're better treated. (AI won't be calling you fake bot ABC insults and dismiss anything you post or comment.)
So if the goal is to convince everyone to stop with human content, they are succeeding. But I don't think that will help their confidence.
My partner just spilled coffee over my book , and our remotes. A previous me would have reacted with threat response as if the room is burning. (I suffer from CPTSD so my body gets hyperviligant too easy.
But I've worked hard to unlock from that automatic extreme response.)
We've watched 2 and a half men for a month or so and Charlie Harper has a very stoic reaction to his nephew who can cause all sorts of damage to his property. Things fly and tear apart and smash and break and Charlie just sits there in the couch whereas Alan the dad comes in "WHAT IS JAKE DOING?" and Charlie always has such a stoic response "He's using the blender without a lid again, probably" "He's trying to make similar stunts as Jackass using a lighter and rollerskates" "He was supposed to superglue glue his shoe, and instead super glued his hands" "He was gonna stapler his shoe and stapled the shoe to the table"
All calm just objectively describing what has happened or is happening and just remains seated in the sofa enjoying his beverage of choice.
It's called somatic anxiety and I suffer from it. Do you not relate to negative thoughts worries, rumination or catastrophe thoughts either, yet have anxiety? Maybe you suffer from it too. (I made a post about it in an another anxiety sub but this sub don't allow cross posting. I made an AMA as a solution.)
I have felt very confused until I understood that not all anxiety is thought based. Hopefully this can raise mental health awareness regarding different types of anxiety 💚
Everytime I have anticipation anxiety but then the thingy I had anxiety over gets canceled/ I confused time and day and I've been having extreme anxiety all for nothing, my partner jokingly says: "But that means next time when the thing actually happens you don't need to have anxiety because you've already had it yesterday"
I wish. I wish anxiety was a consumables , then I've used up three months anxiety in one night 😆
Everyone who's terrified of possible AI generated content says they only want "real human content"
but yet I see the very same group of people, (including mods) harass , discriminate and silence any human who try to be acknowledged for their content. So I'm not buying it. It's not just about AI.
I then looked into the accounts post and comment history of a couple AI triggered Redditors, and there was the answer.
It's not just people anti AI , it's jealous people
(We all know what low effort account looks like right? -5 karma, no one engaging in their posts, and their posts are all hate and violence focused.) That's the account content behind people who calls every structured positive motivational written post AI. People who pull off high quality posts , that were popular for their length, well written structure, tone, and, grammar is now scanned as "Can't be human" by the people who've never once made a post that got awarded or got above 5 upvotes or even a comment. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Low effort accounts will always be this way, the only change is they can hate you through AI hate now. (They will likely call this post AI too, but if constantly dismissing serious well written posts is someone's routine online over a brain that can have actual discussions, that's quite telling imo.)
I also wanna shine a light on humans who were accused as AI and unfairly treated by these low effort accs. What was the sub / what was the topic? Did anyone explain what evidence made it accused as AI generated? What is your own opinion on the matter?
I'm currently wearing a DIY scissor-cropped hoodie, it looks very unimpressive and amateur I wasn't sure I'd actually use it as it's almost became too short too, but I kept it for some reason.
Now 3 years later I noticed it behind some other clothes. It's fabric and layers with a tight hood makes it a perfect layer garment for exercising outdoor in windy mixed warm-cold weathers, (like the weather is outside now.) Since I exercise outdoors regularly I think I just found my new favorite go-to layer garment, for 0$! I'm very happy I kept this rag of clothing. It sparkles to me now. ✨
It's one thing to not allow spam AI ads etc but to remove any positive mentioning of AI even if it's on topic is silly. It's like also removing anyone's content liking dogs over cats because the mod isn't a dog person.
Makes no sense from an impartial stance.
