Oh I don't know. I think humans have been doing this for decades now before AI.

@b_rain like social media that's just screenshots of social media anything to grab the mind's attention away from thought for a moment
@dannyman @b_rain at least most of the screenshots are of actual human postings.

@Mabande @b_rain

How can you tell?

@dannyman @Mabande @b_rain heuristically, because most slop isn't worth manually posting over to other platforms. This is measurably more friction than hitting share/retweet/retoot/..., so only the best stuff gets this treatment
@dannyman I am just trying to share a thought and quote it instead of stealing it. No idea what you are doing.

@b_rain

Posting pictures of content is a trick to drive engagement.

If you sincerely want to share what somebody else has to say, you could quote them and link back to their original work. This will allow somebody who finds the quote insightful to further explore the work of the person who has authored it. And there's no engagement trickery.

@dannyman I guess if you think of me as a trickster, there is nothing i can do to disprove. 🤷‍♂️

I think Daniel just doesn't want to have to type @sketchesbyboze in a search engine to find Library Owl's Twitter feed.
@b_rain That's been one of the things on my mind for a long time since AI came out, yet it *does* seem that nobody is paying attention?

@adamasnemesis @b_rain Too busy listening to "music" and reading bad "novels".

(If only people still read books. 1984 was optimistic, I guess.)

@b_rain

Tech Bros have an unblemished record interpreting dystopia as ideal.

@b_rain Book was supposed to be a cautionary tale of fiction, not a fucking guidebook.
@b_rain Not thinking (Orwell) is being an organic within a mechanistic program. Thinking for yourself (Kant) is thinking for a cult. Thinking differently (Hegel) is just being a cog in the machine. Thinking otherwise, (me) is being a revolutionary! #AiDross #AiSlop #AiCon #AiMimicry #AiIPTheft #Ai #ThinkingOtherwise
@b_rain It was only a hopeless fancy
