  • Every time I see an article like this I think who fucking cares? Like what’s going on with men? Its a generational and cultural thing its not men’s fault. Dating sucks, people get rejected in ultra harsh ways, sometimes being filmed and then posted on social media for trying to ask someone out. If I was in the age range to be dating I wouldn’t bother.



  • That’s interesting I suppose everyone has their own moderation styles. To me I am not 100% opposed to all AI. I define AI slop more like really low effort posts and bulk posts. So a person who is just posting all AI generated content and cross posting to tons of community. Basically AI spam I guess you could say. If someone was to say generate an AI image and make a post talking about the prompt they used and maybe sharing what they like about the image and then commenters make derivatives or share their own results using a similar prompt I could see that sort of post being useful. Maybe there is a balance… but at the same time I can see that some people might prefer an instance that takes more of a hard line stance.



  • I don’t hate it. I think it’s fun as a sort of moment by moment ( I want to see this ) and just generate it and enjoy the wackyness. It does leave a lot to be desired in terms of composition and polish. I also absolutely hate people representing it as their own work. I also really enjoy art produced by people. I think what people produce is still superior in lots of ways. People are often telling a story with their art, and that really comes through. Also I love knowing the amount of thought and effort has gone into a work it makes it that much more impressive. The art people produce is often strongly influenced by art trends, culture, and life experience which we connect to as humans and AI can’t produce that because it has no concept of these things. Sure AI can replicate that but it’s not the same as the interaction and conversation I have with a piece of art produced by a person that I know must have felt certain ways about their work when producing it.












  • Duckduckgo is not the problem. They are using publicly scrapable information. So for instance if they have fingerprinted your device they see you go to duckduckgo, then they see you access a site about buying guns, it becomes trivial to determine what you searched for. They would not have direct access to what you search on duckduckgo and duckduckgo is not giving them access. They are using various methods to collect data based on habits. You can use literally any service you want and they could do the same thing.
