@_elena YouTube is recently going nuts with their shorts being AI slop indeed. It drives me crazy.
@melroy my mother showed AI slop to my 4-year-old... you should have seen my gentle but firm lecture 😅
(thankfully it was only one time and my little one - who has very limited screen time - forgot all about it)

@transicorn what I love about chronological feeds and the fact there's no advertising or recommendations shoved in front of our faces is that we can avoid all that in the fediverse... or just quickly hit the "block" or "mute" button.
Not the case on other platforms unfortunately 😭
@_elena @transicorn it’s kind of a good problem, but my Mastodon feed is so interesting that I scroll a lot more than I should. Every few months I go look at other sites, and I last maybe 30 seconds before I say “this is garbage” and put my phone down.

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 i didn't know peertube yet, thx for sharing

@_elena What really infuriate me is that I love the AI technology, it is so powerful and useful but NOT the chatGPT crap style !!!
For the 99.9999% people use these resources to generate useless crap.
I can see in very small use case the necessity to have something generated by AI but let be honest, 99% of people use them in the worse possible way.
Too many uses AI as an "oracle" assuming it can give "answers" but is NOT the nature of AI to do so!
The bottom line is that to have real benefits from AI, who use it must know what is doing and what the right answer is.
Ignorant people should not be allowed to use an AI and totally agree, the cost to use AI is enormous, it should be illegal to use AI to generate useless crap. Make the people who use it to REALLY pay what it cost.
AI should be used for useful things, scientific research, tech improvements, embedded AI, etc. and should be used by people who knows what they are doing. -

Follow-up to this morning's post about #AIslop.
@bookstardust @lefteristrip23 suggested I could turn off AI-gen image recommendations on #Pinterest. I did - thank you!
No more LEGO AI slop... but now my feed is 100% illustrations with the same style... and I don't know what to trust anymore.
I found an illustration of NYC really odd (Statue of Liberty in the middle of the city?!?), zoomed in and boom: complete gibberish on a store sign (aka surest sign of AI slop).
No more Pinterest for me 😭

Thanks all. I hope this was interesting. I think we often divide and categorize recorded music by decade, so I wanted to try spreading the categories over the ~100+ years that recorded music has been commercially available. I think it actually broke down pretty naturally on 25 year boundaries; the pre-1949 period is the longest (going back to 1905 or 1910), but also the number of extant recordings is much lower and quality is, umm, challenging.

Want to run the same command again?
In many shells (e.g., tcsh, zsh, bash) you can type "!!".
