There's lots of links and decent comments on those: https://lobste.rs/t/ai https://lobste.rs/t/ai
I wouldn't describe it as anything close to "hates".
- OutOfHere 2y agoA number of very legitimate AI posts on their site get downvoted and disappear. This is pretty bad for the posting user. Such posts do fine on here for comparison.
- viraptor 2y agoI checked https://lobste.rs/moderations https://lobste.rs/moderations for deleted AI stories going back to October. There's nothing I can find there. Downvoting through flagging - any examples?
- OutOfHere 2y agoIt's not so much about deletion, but more about unfair downvoting to the extent that the posting user's account itself becomes at risk. This is even for very valid GitHub open source project link posts despite the projects having lots of stars. The theory is that the downvoting users don't want to spend the time to keep up with AI, and also don't want others to spend the time.
