Dear Fediverse, thank you for being a safe haven from AI slop.
This morning, I checked out Pinterest for the first time in forever and saw an image purporting to be a LEGO set that was obviously AI generated - yuck!
Then on Reddit's popular page there was a video compilation of people saving children from terrible falls = AI slop.
YouTube's homepage: a short video showing a child and her dog covered in mud = AI slop.
What was I thinking? I should visit #Lemmy and #PeerTube instead...

@_elena is Lemmy and peertube good? I was told that peertube is not a good replacement for YouTube. For example, I like to watch channels like EWU and investigation videos and those are not available in peertube. Is the content very low on it?

@_elena there's plenty of AI in lemmy if you are too lazy to block all of them by hand.

@_elena fedi also has a lot of AI slop... It's sad to see them when mainstream accounts post it and see it on trending page

@_elena @ozzelot
I would suggest trying FreeTube and/or Invidious to watch YT videos. FreeTube can be configured in many ways and includes "Distraction Free" settings.Both break every now and again as YT changes stuff, sometimes for a couple of weeks.
In such situations you can find videos with FreeTube and use tools like yt-dlp to grab videos.
But generally FreeTube works fine.
There are versions of FreeTube for the main desktop platforms as well as Android.

@_elena @bookstardust @lefteristrip23 I left Pinterest for the same reason. Even with turning off AI, it was just disgusting. I used it to find patterns, home inspiration etc, but everything is slop now. Disgusting.

@sylvia @_elena @bookstardust @lefteristrip23 ArtStation, DeviantArt, Pinterest, and even more surprisingly Adobe Stock, are all filled with the same AI Slop now.
It's frustrating to need to look for the Hide AI toggle before every browse!

@_elena Sadly, yes. It's in the side panel on the results pages. Also, it defaults to showing GenAI... because of course it does. *blood boils*

@_elena Yes... how sick and disturbing is that?!
Every day I question why I'm giving this company money to use their apps. Sadly, I'm stuck with them as my work depends on it.

@_elena @bookstardust @lefteristrip23 You can trust my work and photos. No AI crapola from my cameras. All photos created with practical effects and technique, just the way they God and Saint Kodak and Mother Mary Nikon did declare.

@DavidBHimself I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one.
And yes, I did lose my right to vote when I moved a couple of times, even as a resident+citizen of said location. That’s how our imperfect electoral system works. 😥

@evan I agree with @EricLawton -- "expatriate" is an imperial term. I see no confusion of terminology in his comment, quite the opposite.
In the context of the poll, "expatriate" was used about emigrants, not immigrants, but the point stands. The clearest term, if a bit long and pedantic, might have been "citizens who are not residents".
-
@DavidBHimself I’m suggesting that you should be able to vote where you live.
-
@EdwinG So, you're basically saying that I and many other people should lose their rights to vote?
To lose my most basic right as a citizen because I happen to not live on a piece of soil, but on another one?Quite a strange way to see democracy, indeed. (see where my "landowner" reference is coming from)
-
@DavidBHimself The situation in country B is indeed not relevant (resident, citizen), but it is relevant that they are not living in country A because they live in B.
In other words, should A’s not residing citizens be allowed to vote in A? And I’m saying, no.
