Related: About this forum"Stay in your lane Yoshida"
I am announcing that I will no longer be posting in General Discussion or any similar forums because I obviously dont know an AI generated vidoeo and real news . Since my expertise is Asian Culture I will Stay in my lane and no longer post anywhere outside the Asian group. I have received several angry messages to stop posting Anything in regards to the Trump Administration be cause You dont know the difference between real news and fake propaganda and since I know more about Asia I will from now on no longer post anything about US Politics. I hope this makes DU happy and I apologize for any discomfort this has caused DUers. I have been accused of being a Republican plant which is totally untrue as I have been a Democrat all my life never once voting for a Republican ever. This is a message to the DU community that I promise to stay in my lane and not venture to far from the Asian gruoup. I deeply apologize to all DU members for posting material that the DU took offense.

(71,481 posts)I wonder if you got targeted for that reason by trolls or others with an agenda.
My opinion: If you are not causing DUers some discomfort and
getting them out of their comfort zone then posts are a waste of time.
Keep doing what you have been doing and don't take the bait.

(239 posts)I spent last Christmas alone with nothing to do until I came across a lovely film that you posted.
I, for one, appreciate what you do. Life is an open road. Drive in any damn lane you want, honey.
Don't let the bastards get you down.

I have enjoyed many of your posts

Really, who's perfect at detecting AI?

Please don't leave us. I'm really saddened at the lack of tolerance from some members.
Disagreement on issues, even questioning someone's source, that is understandable.
However, some people could really use to stop and think: would they want to be on the receiving end of what they are dishing out?
Which is likely to be more effective: probing questions that are designed to be at least courteous and to get the other person to take another look at their source? Or rude comments that imply that the poster is incapable of creating a good post?
As AI gets more sophisticated, it will get harder to tell the difference in how something is generated. I have seen posts that claim to help people know the difference, but I am not sure those methods are flawless.
I'm sorry you experienced that kind of push back. Sending hugs to you

I hope you stay and continue to post.

(884 posts)You were one of the first individuals I followed when I joined the DU community several years ago. I looked forward to your posts and the broad spectrum of topics and music videos you shared with us. I am deeply troubled and saddened by the attacks you have faced here and hope you will continue to share your knowledge with us. To those who attacked you F**K OFF!

(43,890 posts)what the fuck is wrong with YOU that i can not spot a fake ARTIFICIAL INTELIGENCE VIDEO from a real news story, i TOLD THEM i don't have this super power and they say then STAY THE FUCK out of General Discussion because they apparently never make such obvious mistakes.

(3,229 posts)And with AI evolving every second, there's a 100% chance we're all going to mistake it for reality at some point. If the long time DUers involved haven't yet mistaken AI material for "reality", no doubt they will, and sooner than they think.

(2,261 posts)... not because I think you should in any way "stay in your lane." Personally, I think your lane is all things democratic and I think DU would be a better community if more members were like you. You're one of my favorite persons here, Yui, and a big reason I frequent it.
As an aside, I often get frustrated with the DU community. There's an awful lot of groupthink in this place and an awful lot of intolerance -- though many in this community will never see that or acknowledge it. In fact, I'd say that odds are at least 50-50 that this post of mine will be reported and censored because it isn't groupthink enough for the true believers.
The fact that you were upbraided, Yui, leaves me shaking my head. Nuff said.

(7,765 posts)Ive learned so much from you, and I love the stuff you post.
I have to wonder about the motivations of anyone attacking you.
Ignore them please!
Easterncedar
(4,596 posts)I hope you will reconsider, and not give in to the trolls. I think we all need to be mindful that the loudest dont represent anyone but themselves. I find the ignore button quite helpful.

(4,596 posts)Dont let the unkindness rob the rest of us of your good company.

(235 posts)I for one have never thought you were a republican plant. Its a pretty odd conjecture coming from someone criticizing posts for being non substantiated.

(1,468 posts)It is tough being a minority. We must watch what we say because we will be misunderstood. I enjoy your references to Kung fu Cinema and the big green guy
Godzilla, I will enjoy visiting the Asian Group.
