*Edit*: here at least, I am clearly not isolated!

Perhaps I am increasingly isolated in holding this position, but I have no interest in reading "AI"-generated slop.

I love reading.

I read people's blogs and toots and whatever *because people wrote them* and I want to read their own thoughts and opinions.

I buy books, and read numerous different authors. I like finding new authors, bringing new ideas, styles etc.

Same with "AI" images. I'd prefer no image at all.

@neil please. Isolated? Nobody wants to read slop. Not even people who like AI for some specific application.
What prompted this lukewarm take? :)

@signaleleven

Someone was posting here about preferring "AI news" because they said that it was unbiased.

Someone posted an AI-generated "summary" of something.

More websites are using AI-generated images.

Do you not see this kind of thing?

@neil I haven't seen such posts here at all. Tbh it sounds like a troll because AI generated content is anything but unbiased. And in my experience, people around here are well aware of this.

That said, at work and around the internet at large I see more and more people using AI. Some because they believe in the technology, others because they feel its the normal thing to do now.

@neil @signaleleven lol then they don't understand how those 'tools' were made. You can't have a company run by (mostly) tech bros and feed it content from humans then expect no bias to come out. Sigh.

@neil @signaleleven thats interesting because i only see what people i follow boost/like and i dont follow pro-"AI" people, so i only see responses such as yours, not the kinds os posts you are subtooting. They just arent in my worldview. Where i see people slobbering over "AI" is at work, every org tech meetup seems to be about "AI" these days which makes them imcredibly boring amd stupid. Thankfully it hasnt imfected my department much, so i have had the privilege of ignoring it as if it doesnt exist, a warm cave in the rain of piss.
