This is a survey all #Discord users need to fill out.

@noodlemaz "Discord built a reputation from allowing communities to come together and communicate, human to human, person to person, with all the emotions that brings. Adding AI features will suck the soul from those communications, and the communities, and Discord itself."

I think my point is pretty clear!

[codecat@meow.social]

@noodlemaz Where are they (Discord) giving this survey to its users?

[diraquel@masto.pt]

@noodlemaz thanks! Done!

[fedithom@social.saarland]

@noodlemaz
This might have been the single most easily done survey I've ever partaken in. "NO, fuck off!" to everything AI. Done in 1 minute.

Thanks for the heads up.
(N.B.: I've deleted my Discord account years back, when D gleefully embraced AI and wouldn't budge. So, IDGAF if they sink deeper into the slop. Voicing my belief still feels good)

@noodlemaz Guess we now know who's trying to board the AI train before their IPO and will change their terms to let the! sell all conversations as training data.

[thirstybear@agilodon.social]

@noodlemaz @jay_peper That’s a hard NO from me.

[mastokarl@mastodon.social]

@m @noodlemaz As it’s a qualtrix survey and qualtrix is not cheap I’m fairly sure it is authentic.

Thanks, filled it out. Probably very different to most of you here. Would like to see AI features and a simple setting „I don’t want AI and don’t want to contribute to training“ for those of you who don’t see value.

[jay_peper@chaos.social]

@thirstybear the survey?

[noodlemaz@mstdn.games]

@Mastokarl @m yes, [we think] it's a discord official survey. Thanks for filling in!
Unfortunately having an off switch so features aren't available doesn't safeguard anyone's photos, chats, etc from scraping and being added to training data. If the features are there, everyone's privacy is broken.

So while I appreciate the concession, it's still not practical.

[mastokarl@mastodon.social]

@noodlemaz @m Yes, the question is whether they will make it opt-in or opt-out (if you want to enjoy the features you should be okay with giving it your content for training, if not, then of course not )

[lnklnx@social.sdf.org]

@noodlemaz Thanks, filled it in. I'd love to know the results but I suppose they would never share that.

[jaypeach53@calckeymusic.social]

@noodlemaz@mstdn.games what’s Discord? That site that’s already turned to shit? #Discord

[noodlemaz@mstdn.games]

Not a site as such. If you don't use it, don't worry about it. But a lot of people, especially gamers, moved to it when meta and other communities went more to shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discord

[noodlemaz@mstdn.games]

Assuming it's genuine because Qualtrics isn't cheap to use - friend found it posted to Bluesky and I've seen it doing the rounds, don't know where it originated. Will update if I find out.

[andycarolan@social.lol]

@noodlemaz Done!

[bhaugland@mastodon.social]

@noodlemaz if it’s like all marketing surveys discord will ignore the results and do what they want to do.

[themnwolf@furry.engineer]

@noodlemaz ai has some very legitimate uses, none of which are being proposed to be used by discord. I've taken the survey and I've passed it on to the administration of the server that I am most active in.

[rowyn@mastodon.art]

RLB:

Me: *goes through checking all the "DO NOT WANT" boxes*
Me: *pauses*
Me: "Okay wait yes it's 2026 and you have labeled a thing AI that I have no problem with, congrats."

[noodlemaz@mstdn.games]

@bhaugland either that or they listen if it's a big negative response, nothing is lost if I register my revulsion at least.

[mgorny@social.treehouse.systems]

@noodlemaz, what should win… my hate of LLMs or my hate of Discord?
