Pinterest’s endless scroll is getting clogged with AI‑generated pictures that look more like filler than inspiration. Bill Ready and Mantzarlis warn that content farms are turning the platform into a static visual dump.

YouTube: From Stage to Simulation

#AITraining #DigitalLabor #YouTubeShift #ContentFarms #TheInternetIsCrack #PlatformControl

#DeadInternetTheory is already in #fatigue stages. I don't think it's too much to ask #parents to curate a video collection for your kids rather than relying on streaming.

#YouTube in itself is going to be ground zero for what's to come, and it'll be much worse than #ElsaGate ever was.

Do not, I repeat, do not let your kids go unsupervised on content platforms anymore. The #ContentFarms cannot be trusted.

The original source of the claim that ChatGPT overuses the word ‘delve’ seems to be AI Phrase Finder which makes the claim on the basis of “our dataset of 50,000 ChatGPT responses”. No more information is provided about this dataset. There’s also no information provided about what constitutes the ‘most common words’ within it. Presumably the most common words are ‘the’ (etc) which suggests they are using a different standard of what constitutes a common word. But they don’t say what this is!

This is not a reliable source which raises the question of why this claim spread as widely as it did. There’s an interesting bibliometrics debate which suggests this might not be 100% nonsense. But as far as I can see the claim spread through a network of (possibly AI generated!) content farms, as well as being credulously shared through social media. I’m not saying that ChatGPT doesn’t have tells, only that establishing them authoritatively is a methodologically complex undertaking which would only establish deeply imperfect results.

I just recently abandoned by Lemmy.ml account and also I've stopped doom scrolling #instagram.

I'm one of those "meme friends", you know, someone who does the #doomscrolling for you, and I just stopped one day and released an IG story saying "do your own damned doomscrolling".

This is because Instagram is now filled up with #bots and #contentfarms. For every 30-40 of useless garbage and mindrot, I got maybe 1-2 good videos/reels.

The internet, including social media, is filling with #spam.

Interesting read. Some of the examples are funny, but it won't take much to churn out more convincing, biased "news" stories.
