I haven't seen much of any AI stuff here. A couple of videos but definitely no text.

Not having a recommendation algorithm for people to game helps a lot

@gbargoud @renwillis

But so many linked articles are full of slop, everywhere. That abbreviation is hilarious AND effective (one of my fave combos)
Thanks Ren

that's just it. here in the real fediverse you either intentionally have to follow an artificial account filled with slop or a human account who repeats slop.  such accounts would not last long in my timeline ...

@renwillis ai: don't care about any #aislop

@PeachMcD @renwillis

Oh yeah it's definitely going to be useful in a few contexts. I'm just glad I eliminated some of the worst ones from my life.

@PeachMcD @gbargoud @renwillis Articles and whatever meme-adjacent images people boost. It's a little annoying to see people who are against AI boosting those, but eh. I can ignore. I know they're not doing it intentionally, nor does the original poster really get anything from the boosts, except maybe a Number Go Up dopamine rush

@Mimesatwork @PeachMcD @renwillis

If you follow someone who posts good things but is questionable in their judgement when boosting, there is a setting to show only their posts and not their boosts.

(Apologies if you already know about it, I find that it's hidden enough to be worth mentioning when relevant)

@renwillis on, I read it as a warning: AI; DON'T Read

@gbargoud @PeachMcD @renwillis Ah, good to know! I didn't know about the setting, so thank you. I'm fine with them making human errors on occasion. I don't know if they feel the same about my boosts though

@renwillis Trying for testing:

Here I posted the same picture with an image description for #accessibility #a11y #ALT4you

@Mimesatwork @gbargoud @PeachMcD step one, don't assume ill intent. Politely let people know if they are boosting AI.

Be nice though!

After that, yeah, time to hide the boosts.

@renwillis but it is not clear if this means that you didn't read it because it was written by AI, or that you didn't read it because you just had AI summarize it.

@renwillis @gbargoud @PeachMcD The problem I run into most these days though is that I can't 100% tell if something is AI if it's not the basic Computer Graphic Average From 2015 style.
There was this old painting meme going around a few days ago I just couldn't get a proper read on. I couldn't find an original and the image had certifiably been online for only few weeks.

@Mimesatwork @renwillis @PeachMcD

If it was the hippo farting fire one, the actual artist was eventually found and posted there.

@gbargoud @renwillis @PeachMcD LOL it wasn't but god you have to link me to that one I'm begging you

It's this one (I'm not up on my art history so I can't investigate based on that). I saved the image to try edge detect, but obviously if the quality is poor enough to start with, it's not going to be conclusive

@renwillis

MORE THINGS FOR T-SHIRTS.

YES.

@Mimesatwork @renwillis @PeachMcD

That was a difficult one because the quality was too high to be AI art but the subject matter was truly ridiculous in the best ways

@renwillis@mstdn.social ngl, this sounds like one of the few things that would be good to bring over from Threads.
