so two different massive Content Farms that depend heavily on the free labor of moderators have pushed their mods into a strike in the space of a week, one over AI nonsense and the other over trying to imitate Elon. Maximum 2023 behavior

(stack overflow and reddit)

@jorin the site owners told the moderators they're not allowed to remove posts for being obviously AI generated anymore

@0xabad1dea oh my fucking god how could they possibly believe that AI nonsense will improve the site

@0xabad1dea @jorin just because an answer is AI generated doesn't mean it's wrong. Sounds like they need to grow up over there (they def do)

@firewyre @jorin a) if the answer is noticeably AI generated, that virtually guarantees the person posting it doesn't know if it's right or wrong and it's not the moderators' job to know everything about every subject on earth. b) literally no-one enjoys reading the extremely distinctly obnoxious way GPT blathers on without saying anything meaningful.

@0xabad1dea the firewyre fella's post didn't federate for some reason and I looked it up and oh jeez am I glad it didn't

@0xabad1dea @jorin meh, that place became the domain of power-hungry douchebag moderators a long time ago (much like Wikipedia). I kinda hope it implodes.
