Dear Fediverse, thank you for being a safe haven from AI slop.

@_elena YouTube is recently going nuts with their shorts being AI slop indeed. It drives me crazy.

[melroy@mastodon.melroy.org]

@_elena @ozzelot I still can't disable shorts in my yt overview.

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@transicorn yes, the best place to be 🥰

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@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)

@melroy @ozzelot I click on the 3 dots to say "see less Shorts" but they always come back... 😒

@_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.

@steggy @transicorn same 😅

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@thefwguy perfectly said 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

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

[jerkedgherkins@mastodon.social]

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!

[lefteristrip23@mastodon.social]

@_elena fyi, you can disable ai on Pinterest
