Looks like you got your wish in this community at least lol

Also, it is very possible to create stuff like this on consumer grade hardware, taking not much more power than running a video game.

This is the one thing the Anti-AI trolls can't wrap their heads around or if they can they refuse to and instead try to strawman their previous point, because without that part their argument is purely copyright apologia.

@Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com Is this guy trying for an instance ban from dbzer0? He said he wanted to block it, maybe we should help him lol

Your comment wasn't removed for being criticism, it was removed for being reactionary. You've had it explained to you that this sentiment is considered reactionary here and thus isn't allowed. We don't allow other forms of liberal apologia either, even if they're framed as "criticism" or "just asking questions".

There's no point in trying to debate or reason with anti-AI trolls, most of them are neolibs or just regular libs anyway. If they weren't they wouldn't be barfing out the same tired ass talking points and using ad-hominem to attack logical rebuttals to their arguments.

Also blatantly lie about facts to push their own agenda, and insist or assert that they're actually true, hoping no one will seriously challenge them. Strawmen and ad-hominems are their favorite tactics to use in their debates. Someone should make a meme about this behavior and how it's mostly turbolib garbage.

It's against the rules to attack and brigade users and communities which allow GenAI, that's a dbzer0 instance rule which was voted on in !div0_governance@lemmy.dbzer0.com, @Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com I don't think that ever got added to the sidebar, but it probably should be soon.

I see shit posts, I downvote. Maybe there’s a string of them in my fred and I wind up downvoting a few in a row, but that’s it. No bulk operations, no scheming.

See here's the thing. I don't believe you and I don't think anyone with two brain cells does either, every person engaged in vote manipulation tells the same story. Actions speak louder than words and your actions point to you maliciously downvoting large amounts of items in communities, or targeting specific users. It's useless to lie about this because mods can see votes on posts directly, there's literally a view votes button in Lemmy UI, and admins can view your Database contributions.

I have no reason to lie about this.

That's really funny because even if you're as dull as you seem even you know this is untrue. If one openly admitted to mass downvoting or worse, vote manipulation they would find themselves very swiftly banned, even on a skeptical instance who's admins give way too much courtesy. And you're a well known troll, which doesn't help your cause either.

Now please stop making shit up about me.

No, sorry. I'm not going to stop saying things you don't like, because they are true. The numbers speak for themselves, you can argue until you're blue in the face that they don't but we can literally see them, I've posted pictures of the Vote View UI showing all votes on a post, every mod on Lemmy can do this, every mod can catch you in the act. It's a bad time to be an abusive voter on Lemmy.

Spoken just like a liberal....

Yeah, dbzer0 is an AI friendly instance, it's not just allowed, it's encouraged.

I’ve been banned without explanation for “vote manipulation,” but never did anything of the sort.

Feining ignorance isn't going to help you. Mods can see your votes, you decided that without any activity you were going to downvote hundreds of posts across a handful of communities, the mods noticed you doing this and banned your ass to put a stop to it. Here's a tip, mods can ban you without submissions because of a little thing known as Tesseract, want to stop getting banned? Start blocking communities you dislike instead of trying to brigade them.

Because we don't know the prompt, exact model, or seed to regenerate it exactly but without the shine. Also because they're a well known and well recognized troll in what is, an AI friendly instance, see their modlog. They've been banned from several communities for vote manipulation.
