PSA: lemmy.dbzer0.com labels anyone who shows any dislike for AI as a "right-wing neoliberal"
(lemmy.world)
~~They will also delete any comments that complain about AI at all, even though there is no rule against it.~~
/--edit--/
After second look, that's not entirely true, but they definitely have a trigger finger for it and leave plenty of other "off-topic" comments.
Considering the amount of posts deleted, it should have just been locked instead of nuking comments with a negative view of AI
Here's the thread in the screenshot:

Also, here you can see other's seem to think this was an attempt to silence dissent (though, I don't think that this coming from drag is a great point for it):

Just look at this completely insane comment from an instance admin:
Yeah its annoying, youd think piracy ppl would be anti ai generation since we grew up pirating adobe, autodesk, etc. programs, or at least I thoight that was common among pirates, I started with flash
new gen pirates just go for movies, tvshows, and games
Well thats because we have Foss alternatives that are better than the adobe suite crap
They are anti copyright and anti corporations. With that in mind, saying it's stealing is silly to them since they mostly don't consider pirating stealing and pirating isn't hyper transformative like AI is.
There is also the fact that 99% of the data is owned by corporations (Getty, Instagram, Reddit, publishing houses, record companies, etc). The anti-AI movement will never actually stop AI, but they might stop open source AI which only benefits the corporations.
Yep, it will get community "AI" stuff banned, but companies will keep going beacuse OpenAI and ChatGPT funded the legislators that banned competition.
