I'm so tired. People, I am not interested in reading *blogs* generated with claude, gemini or chatgpt. No, not even ones proofread by AI. Do it yourself. I do not wish to even accidentally click on "one-shotted" dummy projects. Don't show me your AI-generated analysis of anything. Above all, I do not wish to see images/artwork someone prompt created.

I value real content, with all its good and bad quirks, from actual human beings.

Somebody please normalize auto-tagging of AI generated content across all formats - text, images and code so I can blanket ban them from my personal computer.

This is a plead for help I never thought I'll have to make.

@pheonix ...but it's FUN to misuse AI to make trump look ridiculous, far more so than my actual talents could achieve.

Making trump look ridiculous is a worthwhile cause. It was my absurd brain that came up with the idea; AI just moved some electrons around.

@the_turtle I think though- this is hard to explain but I think there might be something fundamentally different in the way some of our brains are processing generated information. "Uncanny Valley" is generally used as shorthand, but doesn't convey the actual, physical fatigue effect, even when used for humor. The synthetic graphics have humor, but are still tiring to look at. The same as reading synthetically composed text. I don't really have the vocabulary to articulate it though. @pheonix

31 years ago, the lady who photographed my first wedding was very skeptical of digital photography. A year and a half later, i got a really shitty, crude Kodak digital and showed it to her. You could see her brain kick in when she understood the possibilities, and within two years she was shooting mostly digital.

In 1972, my music teacher scoffed at synthesizers.

Seven years later, I got an F on a math assignment because the teacher was appalled "you used a computer!"

@the_turtle don't get me wrong, as my own anecdotes I had the first Agfa consumer digital camera and a very early adopter of new technology (I also maintained the first edition of the plasma display FAQ and worked in emerging/experimental hardware at SUSE). I also did early video streaming as an Akimbo partner. So I know there are bumps. But whether it is general lack of technical maturity at this release stage or something else- there is still a fatigue effect. @pheonix
