Encountered a person on Mastodon who said Mastodon should be inclusive of "AI" users. So I blocked him
@mcc as in people who use "AI" in some capacity, by some vague definition? Or did he mean literally gen-AI models posting like typical bot accounts but no person managing the model as much as a typical bot account might be?

@medusaskirt As in a journalist who was disappointed in Mastodon's engagement with his pro-genAI fluff.

Like it's our duty to make him feel appreciated, even though he didn't bother to read the room at all.

One of the head honchos of Mastodon was pearl-clutching over how this makes us an echo chamber, and that we should be more inclusive of genAI fan communities. For... reasons 🤷
