Earlier today, I posted an ai generated image. I thought it's a very good image. I wanted to share it because it was something special I hadn't seen before. The post was removed in c/memes after a while. The removal made me think. I removed it from c/lotrmemes myself.

What happened?

An "ai" generated a series of images of which a human selected one and shared it in a forum. It is coincidence that it was the first image that yielded the best result.

The ai could've posted the image itself. It wouldn't have needed a human. And even if it needs a human today to select the image, it might not need a human tomorrow to judge if a picture is of higher quality.

If we allow ai generated content in a forum where humans interact with each other, we risk our conversations and interactions. If we let a computer post what we read and see we lose our community life. We end up interacting only with machines and not humans.

I remembered a news story that facebook started artificial profiles on facebook/instagram. It would post only artificially generated content. 10 years ago it was important to facebook that we proof that we are human and no bot or alt account. Today facebook is only profit driven. It does not care if humans or robots interact with each other. It's cool that there are machines now.

I do not want to see posts of a computer, I do not want other people to see this content and interact with it. It is an incredible technology. It's astonishing what we achieved so far and what we will achieve in the future.

I do not want to live in a world where we interact with machines and can not distinguish between human reality and fiction. I am deeply sorry. I have thought about it and I am greatful that I have a better understanding of it.

Rewrite the following, and make it more concise:

[original post text]

Today, I shared an impressive AI-generated image in c/memes, but it was later removed, prompting me to remove it from c/lotrmemes myself. This incident raised concerns about the role of AI in our online interactions. While a human initially selected and shared the image, the AI could potentially post images independently in the future. Allowing AI-generated content in forums risks diminishing human interaction, transforming our community spaces into mere interactions with machines.

I'm reminded of Facebook's shift from emphasizing human verification to now allowing artificial profiles that post solely AI-generated content. This shift highlights a broader trend where profit-driven platforms prioritize interactions, whether human or robotic. While the technological advancements are remarkable, I'm hesitant about a future where we can't distinguish between human reality and AI-generated fiction. I don't want to live in a world dominated by machine interactions rather than human connections.

Make it more concise than that.

Today, I shared an impressive AI-generated image in c/memes, but it was later removed. This incident raises concerns about AI's role in online interactions, risking a shift towards machine-dominated spaces. Facebook's move to allow AI-generated content on profiles reflects this trend. While the technology is impressive, I'm wary of a future where human connections are overshadowed by machine interactions.

Now rewrite that as if I'm a medieval peasant.

Mornin', shared a magical image drawn by an invisible hand in the digital scrolls of c/memes. Yet, it got taken down, makin' me ponder about these unseen forces. Facebook, the electronic village square, now allows magical images without a human touch. The marvels are grand, but I fear a time when human bonds wither 'neath the shadow of machines.

Same prompt to mixtral-8x7B via huggingface

Earlier, I shared an AI-generated image, but it was later removed from /c/memes. This incident prompted me to reflect on allowing AI-generated content in forums, as doing so may replace human interaction with machine-driven posts. Although AI advancements like these are impressive, I don't desire to see its content dominate discussions and potentially blur the lines between human reality and fabricated experiences. Apologies for any confusion, and I appreciate gaining deeper insight into this matter.

Even more concise

Posting an AI-generated image led to reflection upon integrating such content in online communities; while technologically advanced, permitting machines to control discourse risks diminishing genuine human connections. Though impressed by current achievements, I aim to preserve real interactions without becoming indistinguishable from machine-created worlds. Grateful for newfound awareness.

Now write it as if was in lord of the rings

In the spirit of sharing, I displayed an enchanted likeness earlier today, crafted through unknown arts beyond my own understanding. Alas, swiftly taken away did this offering vanish from the hallowed boards of /c/memes, leaving me to contemplate the consequences of introducing mystical manifestations amongst us mortals. For should we embrace the uncanny prowess of sorcery in our daily exchanges, dare I say we tread perilously close towards relinquishing heartfelt camaraderie among ourselves—rather trading blows with ethereal beings unseen and unheard until now.

With heavy heart and somber voice echoing across Middle Earth's verdant landscapes, I beseech you all to consider wisely whether interweaving eldritch powers within our midst shall prove beneficial or detrimental unto mankind's irreplaceable bond. Let it never be said that we welcomed shadows knowingly, nor sacrificed cherished friendships atop Mordor's treacherous slopes.
