It’s LLM-generated. I’ve seen this tweet discussed in a few different places now and I’m surprised I’m the only one pointing this out.

The spelling, grammar and sentence structure are too good for it to be Trump. It’s too coherent and fact-based, but it’s also too cohesive. It meanders like Trump, but then it gets back to the point. It’s presenting a formulaic argument. That’s something LLMs always do and Trump never does.

It’s also loaded with em dashes. There is no possibility that Trump used an em dash on purpose.

Trump probably put the prompt into ChatGPT himself and then didn’t bother to read it.

Exactly. The threads are not the point. The art is the point. Most of the comments were about what kind of asshole would remove attribution anyway.

It comes down to what we want this community to be. Is this just some third tier meme group, sharing the reposts of the reposts from other communities? Or is it a place that’s respectful to artists, that could eventually be where content creators post their original stuff?

Some other things will have to go our way to make the latter happen, but it’ll never happen if we’re positioned for the former.

But if I’m understanding the situation correctly, I don’t think beep is even banned. Which would make sense why the new mod is so reticent about nuking his content.

I’m all for second chances, but as long as a single beeped comic still exists in this community, he and every one of his alts needs to be banned. Anything less is hostile to artists and makes this a meme factory instead of a place to share and celebrate comics.

Can you clarify something else for me? Is the offender in this case not being banned? Because he is way, way past third chances, and I don’t think the community is ok with that.

Ok, but you can just remove the vandalized comics. Otherwise they’ll continue to do damage. Taking them down doesn’t hurt anyone.

The efforts in the comment sections were towards this end - to try to stop the harm he was doing.

You’re missing my point. If I drew a comic and signed my name on it, and some jerk removed my signature, it doesn’t matter if I get credit in the comments. Because that image is going to get reposted elsewhere, and my name is no longer with it.

In some cases he even used AI to “upscale” comics, and it made changes to the art. All of his posts need to be nuked. They’re poisoning the well.

I just read the whole rant, and it’s clearly and without a doubt generated by an LLM.

The grammar and spelling are too good. It’s also too coherent, but more importantly it’s too cohesive. It meanders a lot but eventually returns to the point. It’s trying to present a formulaic argument the way LLMs always do, and in a way that Trump never has.

It also hits on points that Trump would never mention, like that Sandy Hook wasn’t a hoax.

And just in case there’s any doubt, it’s loaded with em dashes.

Very glad to see this. Obviously this whole thing is happening because of that one troll who was removing attributions from comics. So my question for you is: can you go ahead and remove everything he ever posted here?

Because as long as the unattributed versions are sitting out there, they’re liable to be reposted elsewhere, making it harder to find the real versions. It should be stopped at the source as soon as possible.

Other than that, I see that everyone else is already on you about the PG thing.

My origin story on Lemmy is that the first thing I ever posted here was an original comic that I hadn’t put anywhere else. It was a Lemmy exclusive, which obviously is not a thing people really do. It got removed because it had the word “balls” in it.

So I posted it to reddit. It hit the front page immediately, and it’s been reposted tens of thousands of times across the internet since then. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I think that means it was some premium content, which seems like something the largest webcomic community on Lemmy would want.

Anyway, I’m actually fine with not allowing full-blown nsfw content here, but “balls” should be allowed.

Except that one time my original comic got removed for having the word “balls” in it.

Don’t forget his other alt:

Sorry, that’s pretty ridiculous. Even with all its flaws, Americans still mostly have freedom of speech, and they use it. They still have access to real news if they seek it out. Trump is becoming more like a North Korean style dictator, but North Korea already has one of those.

Americans can’t think about the rest of the world, meanwhile roughly 1/3 of all foreign aid comes from America.

More than that. He accidentally replied with another account once: https://lemmy.world/u/UnderpantsWeevil

(He has also used that meme as a reply from his other Beep account, so that’s definitely him.)

This is a great joke. It’s absurd, unexpected, and relatable.

When I went to France I remembered enough high school French to ask for directions, but didn’t remember enough to understand the reply. Luckily everyone spoke English anyway.

Do you steal artists’ work on your main account too, or is this just a gimmick account?

The worst part is that the unattributed versions are out there now to be shared. He’s creating hundreds of images that will continue to spread, ensuring that the artists never get credit for their work. It’s a real piece of shit move. This guy needs to be banned.

That’s a completely tangential thing. They failed in their lawsuit against Afroman, but they’re not in any way being held accountable.

Were you lying on purpose or did you really not understand what that lawsuit was about?

And we have the court system to ensure that cops who don’t follow the rules are held accountable.

And you think that’s what happens?

Grinding can be fun. Grinding with a combat system as archaic as FF1 is unfun. There’s not enough there to enter a flow state. Art is subjective, but that grind is as close to objectively boring as possible.
