    I disagree. I don’t like AI slop. But he’s using AI here in a way that is very much intended. I want to share something in Mandarin, I don’t know Mandarin. If only there was a way to transform my thoughts into Mandarin…

    How many languages do you know fluently? I get that people have a definite opinion about AI. Like I told another Lemmy user, I have a definite opinion about the ‘arr’ stack which conservatively, 75% of selfhosters run. However, you don’t hear me out here beating my tin pan at the very mention of the ‘arr’ stack. Why? Because I assume you all are autonomous adults, capable of making your own decisions. Secondly, wouldn’t that get a bit tedious and annoying over time? If you don’t like AI, don’t use it ffs. Why castigate individuals who use AI? What does that do? I would really like to know what denigrating and browbeating users who use AI accomplishes.

      Wait, do you have an issue with piracy in general or an issue with the arr attack specifically? No judgement or interest in argument, just genuinely curious. Feel free to dm if you don’t want to start a whole thing, or beat your tin pan as you said, in an unrelated post.

        I don’t mind stating here: Piracy in general. I don’t condemn those who do because, as I’ve said, you are autonomous adults capable of making your own decisions. You know the risks and you take steps to mitigate those risks. You and I, have both heard all the pros and cons and all the supporting arguments of both sides. Now, I know there are lots of people who rip and catalog their own DVD, CDs, etc. All fine and dandy.

        The comparison was that every time AI is used here in this comm, or even suspected of use, people have a conniption and start piling on. Like moths to a flame. What does that accomplish? Nothing. It seems to just make those who are anti-AI feel superior, is about all I can get from it. To me, it’s just a tool. I’ll grant you it’s a tool that needs some heavy regulation, even as much as I chafe against regulation. It is necessary. AI isn’t going away. It’s not a fad. It’s here to stay. If using AI makes your blood boil, fine. Don’t. Although I foresee a time where you’ll use AI and not even know it.

        Opinions are great too. I, like others, have a long list of them. Stating your opinions is fine too. It seems here tho, opinions turn into castigation and denigration, which is in direct violation of ‘Rule 1: Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another.’ State your opinion on AI: ‘I’d rather guide my pops into my mum before I’d use AI’. Then move on. Personally, I don’t state my opinion on the arr stack, because it would accomplish nothing and in the long run become tedious and obnoxious.

        As far as the arr stack as software, I’ve never deployed it, but it is pretty darn amazing from what I’ve read. The dev teams that have put it all together have some knowledge to say the least. It’s just not my bag.

    Using ai to help normal everyday people cross language barriers is one of the few good ethical uses for it. I hate ai and it’s implications as mich as the next gal but this is clearly fine
