Hi, I’m Fubarberry, and I recently took over moderation of this community due to the original mod being inactive.

This community isn’t very active right now, but I wanted to talk to what members are here about what you want from this community.

For example:

  • should this community focus more on AI in general, AI as a tool for creating things (images/video/music/stories/etc), or something else?
  • Should this sub be focused on a more positive discussion of AI? Personally I feel like there’s no shortage of places on lemmy to doompost about AI right now, so this community would be more useful discussing beneficial uses of AI. Constructive criticism/acknowledging of issues is fine.
  • Should we focus on AI tools available to end-users, and/or discuss AI news in general (AI used for medical research for example).
  • Any other thoughts and opinions you have on this community.

Also side note, but right now this community has a bit of an issue with new posts being immediately downvoted. I’m not sure if it’s members of the community, or people browsing /all, but I’d ask people to only downvote if the post is unrelated to the community or factually incorrect.

    Oh, yeah, and I’m not sure anything can be done about downvotes. To be blunt, there’s a large section of Lemmy that will just stop reading and downvote anything that has the word “AI” in it.

    At the same time, you won’t find many people here get excited about updates to “tech bro” focuses like ChatGPT or whatever.
