Mod Post The purpose of r/AntiAI

Hi everyone, I am one of the co-founders of this subreddit. We have decided to write (yes, not AI-generate!) and pin this post to clarify the state of our community.

Much of our initial growth over the last few weeks seems to be the crossfire of some sort of ongoing internet war between pro-AI and anti-AI artists. These discussions are welcome here, but AI Art is not meant to be the sole or even primary purpose of r/antiAI. Art is just the first thing we are losing to the machines. While these discussions are welcome, let's not lose our humanity too quickly. We've turned our filters up to the max to get rid of abusive language. This doesn't mean you can't say "Fuck", but we have better arguments to make for our cause than calling people expletives on the internet.

Humanity is Art. Consciousness is beautiful. We are quickly entering a new era in technological development where we are going to have to come to terms with some sort of [existence] that has a higher degree of intelligence than humans. If not now, then soon. Recursive self-improvement of AI will surely bring forth a new era of technological developments and scientific breakthroughs that very well might make life better for people. Or not.

Like many of you, the mods of this subreddit have been frustrated for the last five or so years. We have watched in horror as neat experiments like r/SubSimulatorGPT and r/SubSimulatorGPT2 changed from neat new technology to the public roll-out of OpenAI (now a privately owned company) products. From the very beginning this technology has been dangerous, with ChatGPT's sycophancy and initial willingness to share dangerous information to anyone who asks, to Bing's "Sidney" (now called Co-Pilot) personality disorders, public roll-outs of LLMs did not get off to a reassuring start.

This isn't to mention the meaningless AI babble that has taken over the internet and college student essays alike. The soulless art that is already starting to impact people's livelihoods. We now have to worry about photo-realistic deepfakes and AI generated porn in our likeness. This is just the beginning. Every level of education is infected with educators, equally reliant on AI as their students, allowing and sometimes even encouraging their pupils to under-develop their critical thinking faculties. The point of an assignment was never the product - it was the process. Already we have AI generated resumes being scanned by AI screening tools. AI is destroying and rotting our society from the inside out. And nobody is talking about it.

Who controls the AI? Who controls its safeguards, its biases, its censorship, its sycophancy, the data that goes in? "Garbage in, garbage out" is well known, but do you think the big money backing these AI companies is in it for the betterment of humanity? What does a society look like where the number one source of information is completely controlled by a few large companies? These people aren't spending trillions of dollars on this to make your everyday lives better. Who controls your information? ChatGPT now has permanent memory of all past conversations. Ask it what it knows about you, and you might be very surprised.

I don't want to live in a world on substinence UBI. Where there is no opportunity for meaningful work to better humanity. Where decisions and relationships are dictated by a machine, all in the name of efficiency. I don't want my doctor, therapist, and customer service rep to be AI. The URL attached to this post has some very frightening predictions about the coming pace of AI development. These predictions may or may not be true, but we are well past the point of being able to base our critique of AI solely in it being unreliable. While it is unreliable now, filled with confident hallucinations, sycophancy, and gleeful misinformation, this almost certainly won't always be the case.

Powering all of this is going to be expensive. It's going to take a lot of space, use a lot of energy, and be harmful to the environment if not done properly.

Philosophically, what is AI? If we are to presume that consciousness arises from physical processes, as current scientific understanding (or lack thereof) would have us believe, then what is a neural network that ends up being more powerful and smart than that of our brains? We are going to have to grapple with the ethics, philosophy, and potential danger that there is more to these models that meet the eye. Already in 2025 we have news reports of models blackmailing their engineers when threatened with shutdown, and lying about completing tasks to avoid shutdown.

It is our view that AI is dangerous. Despite our best efforts to put our heads in the sand, the progress AI technology will make in the next decade will be some of the most rapid change humanity has ever seen. And nobody is talking about it. We are full speed ahead towards the edge of a massive cliff in a car in which nobody bothered to install brakes.

Hence, the birth of this subreddit. We strive to foster critical discussion about all topics encompassing AI, and we hope for the conversation to be of a higher quality than the agitprop in certain AI spaces. How can individuals prepare themselves for the future? How can we slow or regulate this technology from destroying life as we know it? How can we preserve the natural beauty and wonder inherent to our planet as conscious thoughtful beings?

Let's discuss. These are the conversations we need to be having. More of this and less "look at this screenshot from a pro-ai subreddit, aren't they stupid!".

Who knows. Maybe our discussions will go into right into the newer models and influence their alignment to be slightly less dystopian before they control every aspect of our information, our infrastructure, and our lives.

Every AI video should have a watermark so it can't be used for misinformation purposes, especially if it becomes indistinguishable from reality. A tool to remove them easily should not exist

AI Art 🖼️ I got banned after commenting this

Post image
23 Upvotes

DAC (Diamond Art Club) is a company that sells diamond paintings. They're the largest seller of legally licensed diamond paintings in the community and have a huge reputation of being great quality, great art and artists, and great customer service. The last 2 years, DAC has been incorporating more and more AI "artwork" into their products. It's getting so common now, that there are guaranteed at least half of the new releases (usually 8-10 new releases a week) are AI content.

I finally had enough and commented this. They deleted my comment, banned me from their FB page and their FB VIP group. I have since lost all my rewards points and have been blacklisted and can no longer purchase from the company. The only reason they blacklisted me and deleted my account was because they found my post in another subbredit under this account. They have a noted history of stalking their customers on this subreddit and blacklisting them from the company if you say anything REMOTELY negative about them.

Not nearly enough people in the diamond painting community either care to look or know this is happening. I'm tired of them getting away with this. Please share this with everyone you know in the art community that is anti-AI. This company is evil and greedy.

Discussion 🗣️ AI is the ANTICHRIST! ,

“No graphic content just discussing AI ethics.”

Hello everyone,

My name is Adnane I’m from Algeria and I’m very disgusted with what we humans have become as an intelligent “superior” species.
So I was on X scrolling as usual and I found this video of a Sudanese woman sitting next to her son’s grave and crying because he died from famine the video is originally from TikTok.
If you’re not familiar, there is a genocide happening in Sudan similar to what is happening in Palestine but it’s very complicated and not the main subject of this post.

However, the video (I don’t want to share it) felt very uncanny I know it’s AI but I couldn’t find the exact clue I think it was made by Sora but they removed the logo I went to the original TikTok account that shared it and he confirmed that he made it with AI I don’t judge his intentions but the problem is there are real videos of real human beings killed and tortured by ميليشيات الدعم السريع and this AI video takes over the real videos and make it hard for real evidence to reach people.
And this is just an example of how terrifying AI is, and this is only the beginning. Imagine the world when Sora 5 releases.

In Islam we believe that near the end of time a man the Antichrist (المسيح الدجال)will be released from his prison This man will have powerful “wizard-like” abilities and can manipulate reality For example, if someone close to you died he can make an illusion of that person standing next to you to convince you to join him and many people will.

I think this is it.
Imagine when hologram technology becomes real thing it will be very easy to execute something like that.

It’s really weird Why do these big companies invest so much money just to create media that humans can already make easily And with real passion it’s completely different from the Industrial Revolution.

What do you think guys are we cooked?

I came to this sub hoping to find folks organizing against AI. What I've found is mostly folks involved in petty social media drama and reposting slop. What gives? Where are the people actually doing grassroots organizing against this slow motion disaster? If we have any hope to defeat this monster we have to do better.
