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 😭
#AIslop part 3: follow the money
Last night I did a reverse image search for that awful AI-generated illustration of NYC that I had seen on Pinterest... I couldn't find it anymore in my feed and I was curious to see where it was leading... what was the whole point behind it.
Well it lead to... a popular Etsy shop! Someone is creating city illustrations with generative AI and selling digital downloads of them. At 5 dollars a pop.

@_elena people buys trash. Even in bad economy times

@_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 @bookstardust @lefteristrip23 I went back to Pinterest this morning just out of curiosity since tuning my feed and... they're using gen AI for photos of clothes too now? What's the point?!?!!!!!!! Pinterest = truly dead to me
-
@_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.

it's really barely usable anymore. Search for interior or cabins or gardens - it's a mess. Pinterest has become an AI slop spreader to other platforms like tumblr as well.

@_elena The only thing that's missing is that someone Tags AI Slop with an NFT and sells a link to an AI generated image to a crypto-trading-bot.

@jan I wish! The buyers have no clue it’s all AI generated 😭

@sturmsucht that’s so sad 😭 my heart goes out to creatives that relied on it for inspiration and/or exposure.
I wonder what people inside the company think about this devolution…
Disclaimer: I had (well have) a popular camera board on Pinterest (36k followers) and I was even invited by the company in 2017 to do a presentation at their London office. Those were the days…
Now I don’t dare add new pins to it in case they are AI slop 😩

Gli ultimi otto messaggi ricevuti dalla Federazione

Fu questa la ragione che fece fallire il primo tentativo di rendez vous nella storia, compiuto dall’astronauta americano Jim McDivitt nella missione Gemini 4.
Per avvicinarsi a un veicolo spaziale posto davanti a lui, l’astronauta deve invece diminuire la velocità del suo veicolo, in modo da scendere su un’orbita leggermente più bassa, cioè più corta e più veloce, e poi gradualmente tornare su quella originaria.
-
Così facendo spingerebbe il veicolo su un’orbita più alta e di conseguenza più lenta, perché formata da una circonferenza più ampia: per esempio un’orbita a 400 km richiede 92 minuti per fare un giro completo, mentre un’orbita a 600 km ne richiede 96. In altre parole, se aumentasse la velocità si allontanerebbe dall’obiettivo, invece di avvicinarsi.
-
Mentre il pilota di un aereo che voglia avvicinare un aereo posto davanti a lui deve solo aumentare la spinta dei motori, un astronauta che facesse la stessa cosa otterrebbe il risultato opposto a quello desiderato.
-
La risposta corretta è “ridurre la velocità”. Per agganciarsi a un altro veicolo nella stessa orbita un astronauta deve fare la cosa meno intuitiva che si possa immaginare, come spiega Umberto Guidoni nel libro “Dalla Terra alla Luna - Il progetto Apollo 40 anni dopo”.

@82mhz @stefano @mms I actually had this conversation here on fedi
me: hey, look at this project I made
a guy: I don't like language X, you should ask AI to rewrite it in language Y
