If they've paid Qualtrics ($$$$) I sure hope they're reading it.

Maybe they'll have AI do a summary

Would still love to know how this was found? I have a lot of people to share this with if it's legit and active.

Id like to see this too

By sharing the survey, he very likely invalidated it. That's probably why they closed it.

I’ve seen this posted on three or four different sites and so far nobody has answered this question despite it coming up multiple times

the survey isn't asking for any personal information beyond general age range and location, anyway

also in terms of phishing fears none of my security softwares flagged it (idk how legitimate this bitdefender chatbot is but my in browser security also didn’t flag it)

if the survey was no longer active the link would be closed to new responses.

this reddit post is from a month ago! i found it earlier when searching for info. possibly a different survey

It appeared to be active earlier, but now is reporting as inactive.

Same question. Popup? EMail? Website?

Someone is saying it was a phishing scam but isn't providing context or evidence bsky.app/profile/snuf...

wherre was it found? :)

flatout i told them if they implement any more AI features into discord I am dropping the platform. I do not care if I need to build my own fucking platform from scratch.

thank you for telling us! filled out and shared!

Very well said!

I just said I’d be moving to Revolt if I got a whiff of AI (though Revolt is now known as Stoat, apparently, and I wish I’d known that while filling the survey, so I could be more accurate)

I love the monorail reference. I think of it several times a week when this nonsense comes up.

Nah it's v good 🤌

Sent and thank you!

I cant tell them

Honestly, these answers are super open to "NO" responses! As stupid as Discord devs are, at least they're understanding people will want to say no!

so excited 😁 (I'm joking I'm joking)

Glad I started looking at open-source alternatives. Currently experimenting with stoat rn

I'm actually impressed they included options for "Hell no, I actively do not want this". Gives me hope.

tryna inflate that IPO lol

is this real? Some have been reporting it could be a scam for discord info

And the reason for that, is because it actually *sucks* at writing original and good code. Its skill level is closer to a "skr1pt-k1dd13", its just really good at bulk body work. (IE: refractoring the codebase, and asking it why an error exists) Its important to actually know the code lang yourself!

Thats a funky looking url

I got mine in yesterday but it seems they already closed it, I guess they got the message that we don't want it lol. Watch them do it anyway.

Well that's certainly good to know! A false alarm is the best kind of alarm.

I told them if I see any AI “features” polluting Discord, I’m moving to Revolt, which I have this moment learned is now called @stoat.chat. @stoat.chat, don’t you go shoving AI into every orifice and make me rethink that, because I KNOW Discord are going to do it, anyway, so moving is inevitable.

Replied in the overwhelmingly negative. Thanks for pointing this out.

(02) Cont.... "I see no necessary nor vital use for AI in my daily life. I am nearing 50 years old and I lived 25 of those years without heavy tech, I can easily go back and live like that again."

Inactive

I’m wondering if they would publish the results or just say “well the survey shows we need to be careful with new technologies and not rush things too much”

Additionally, you should create a Matrix account & test server if you haven't yet. Matrix isnt great rn but it's better to begin the migration in little steps than having to move all at once. Invite ppl from your discord servers https://app.cinny.in/login/matrix.private.coffee

Yes, let's vote on this

Noting that Discord is currently working on filing an IPO, which probably explains both why they're doing a survey about AI and why it contains so many negative options. (Because they both hate AI but also know their prospective shareholders are gonna push for it so they want ammunition.)

AI can go eat an entire bag of the dicks it's generated

"after entire internet yells at ceo" is a great title for an onion piece

And they didn't because of user backlash.

You can't delete a room. The basic fuction of DELETE a room does not exist.

Last time Discord was flirting with AI, Matrix + Jitsi seemed like it was the closest to a viable alternative to Discord (excluding "move to another free-ish commercial service for 1-5 years until they enshittify" or "pay $$$$$$$ for Slack") and that was gonna be a looooot of jank

I believe it's called stoat now.

They already know all the reasons. They've provided the list of reasons but still think it's worth wasting money and losing customers over.

I went to the url, it's no longer up as of this posting.

Discord can absolutely fuck off with AI shit.

Sure sign that they already know they're going to do it anyway, but this way they get to pretend they've read the feedback and they'll be using it to "do it the right way", the slimy shitweasels.

Would highly recommend people fill this out. Let it be known loud and clear we don't want AI features on Discord. This has been a major issue and developing problem in the modern world and I'd hate to need to find an alternative to Discord that I quite like.

Thanks for posting this, but there's another problem now, and its that a survey meant to be a true random selection of their user base has now become a self-selected opt-in survey. So the data they are getting as a result of this bleet is suspect (from their POV) Now they have to do more surveys

o for fucks sake Discord

"I hate everything about AI. I want it abolished from all platforms." Simple as that.

It's not available anymore cowards.

Literally answed no to everything.

Useful within narrow parameters - Meh, I'll Allow It; in wide parameters, FUCK NO. Direct influence on human well being, FUCK NO. Direct influence on human *life*: FUCK TO THE HELL NO. Keep that shit in a cage, with a leash and a muzzle on it.

They closed the poll now, like a bitch. They didn't get enough positive responses for their shareholders.

Done. Fuck AI.

I possibly should not have, but I used numerous swear words.

A conversation platform like Discord is meant for humans to interact. Putting AI onto it would entirely harm this purpose. There is simply no benefit, compared to the price everyone has to pay.

When it asked if anything excites me about AI, I put "Its inevitable collapse"

Don’t forget to add this one to the list!

Probably because it was shared much further than its intended audience

I put " it makes stupid companies lose money" i do count that as a win xD

Dang, actively upset I didn't think of that

Oh murr.

Glad i wasn't the only one!

Lmao, good point actually.

Haha I put the same answer.

I put "excited for worldwide economic collapse."

I almost responded this way too but I wimped out

True, true

The fact this wasn't an option in the preset list....

I responded, and even gave them an eyeful in the 'tell us what you think' space at the end.

Excellent. Hopefully they'll take responses seriously

Thank you for sharing this.

"If the robot even so much as touches the app, I'm shutting my account down. Full stop." Short and to the point.

I don't think they actually do want to know, but now they do.In particular, they know that I am distinctly grouchy about the whole thing.

Every night I go to sleep with the hope in my heart that OpenAI and Sam Altman will be thoroughly decimated in multiple courts for the harm they are causing internationally to literally anyone & everyone. True words from you though. Teen years are hard enough without the slop bots.

I will add to this that I am an artist. I just started doing pet memorial portraits via Ko-fi and @vgen.co. AI has been sucking away art jobs. ): ko-fi.com/seiaeka/comm... vgen.co/seieaka/serv...

No idea if this is legit or not, but it was at least somewhat cathartic typing out in no uncertain terms how much I absolutely despise gen AI garbage.

Well it's already not active anymore

The same as I feel about the rich.

Thanks!

Well here's to hoping they take various degrees of no as an answer. Always wondered if surveys like these have protection from AI themselves.

Survey completed! I have some strong opinions about GenAI.

It's also stuff no one asked for
