Comment on Half a million Spotify users are unknowingly grooving to an AI-generated band
Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 11 hours agoThat would require you to be able to detect AI-generated content with 100% accuracy, which simply isn’t the case.
What you actually have is a prejudice - you dislike content when you suspect or find out it’s AI-generated. But there’s undoubtedly AI-generated content you’ve encountered without realizing, and likely didn’t mind. Just as there’s human-made content you dislike.
You don’t hate all AI-generated content. You hate the idea of AI-generated content. That reaction is ideological, not purely about quality.

No, not really.
The statement is “I hate AI generated content” which is different than saying “I hate only AI generated content”.
I hate all AI generated content - there will be some overlap with human-made content I hate, and human-made content that evoked the feeling of AI so I ended up hating as well, even though it wasn’t AI. I remain disliking 100% of AI generated content. Draw a logical table and there are no contradictions here.
Wild claim, would love to see how one would prove which types of content I watch and what’s my reaction to it without even knowing me.

You’re free to say “I hate all AI-generated content” - but the issue isn’t what you believe you hate, it’s whether you can know that what you hate is in fact AI-generated.
You don’t need 100% detection accuracy to hate some AI content. But if you claim to hate all AI content, then the reliability of your detection absolutely matters. Because if even one piece slipped by - and you didn’t hate it - your statement is no longer true.
And considering how much AI-generated content is already out there - usually unlabeled and increasingly indistinguishable - it’s statistically improbable that everything you’ve consumed and didn’t hate was human-made. You may feel confident about your preferences, but you’re arguing from certainty where none is possible. That’s not a logical stance - it’s ideological.

If I hate something believing it’s AI and it isn’t… guess what, my statement isn’t falsified. Only the opposite would be a contradiction: if I loved a piece of content only to later discover it was AI.
Sure. In that hypothetical scenario, yes, my statement would no longer be true. And if tomorrow the Sun started rotating in the opposite direction some physical laws would have to change too.
This would explain why somebody like me, who claims to hate AI generated content, would only be consuming early 2000’s and 90’s media on purpose, wouldn’t it?
Well I’ll grant you there, I might have read some news articles and didn’t hate them… maybe just felt absolute neutral apathy about them. So you got me! Sometimes I don’t hate AI slop, I just… have zero positive feelings towards it at all!
That wouldn’t change anything about my “I hate all AI content” statement at all. I never claimed if my hatred was ideological, logical, religious, social or political. Either way, no, it’s quite logical to hate AI and change your consumption habits based on this principle. It’s not convenient at all, yet I do it, through a rational decision.
