@_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.

@_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.@thefwguy perfectly said 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

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 https://www.minds.com/Talon123/ try minds.. it is a bit more weird than here. it also has more memes, and convesation.

you’re preaching to the pickle choir! AI-generated nonsense is like a soggy cucumber – just sad. give me the real stuff or let me rot in peace, fr!

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 😭

@_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

@ozzelot when I'm on YT now I always rush to click on "Subscriptions" to avoid the recommended videos...
@_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 what’s even the point of posting this kind of no-sense

@DavinchiC nah, thanks I have old tweets and stuff there that I would rather keep, plus the occasional message from old contacts which I don't have elsewhere, at least for the foreseeable future.

Non si smette mai di imparare. Da questo articolo ho appreso il nome di un altro sex worker (ovviamente non Mirko Campochiari), che incidentalmente è iscritto all'Ordine dei giornalisti, da non commentare/criticare/forwardare. La #Russia ordina di cancellare un sito italiano perché mostra ciò che Mosca vuole nascondere - Open https://www.open.online/2025/12/07/russia-ordina-cancellare-sito-italiano-perche-mostra-mosca-vuole-nascondere/

Per contesto: hanno fatto questa ricerca in Francia, dove il vaccino Astrazeneca non è stato dato ai giovani per via del sospetto legame con le trombosi

same request. Thank you.

#NigerianPrince email scam attempt, but this time from alleged Elon Musk, LOL

@elvecio sì sì lo comprendo, anche io ho le mie fasi dove VLC spadroneggia maaa per il mio cervello è meglio lasciarlo solo per i video e usare qualcosa di dedicato per l'audio, anche se in realtà sono pippe mentali pure

@Xabacadabra prima era il mio preferito,ora non uso molto quasi niente a dir la verità e alla fine finisce tutto sul VLC 🙃
