The fediverse used to feel pretty anti-ai, but over the past month or two I’ve noticed a LOT of generated memes and images, and they tend to have positive votes.
Has there been a sudden culture shift here? Or is there a substantial percentage of people just unable to tell the difference anymore?
Same with Reddit. In fact I’d just decided to delete the Reddit app and just hang out here, because the AI slop has become intolerable. But really I’m seeing it everywhere. Google News used to be interesting and now again AI slop. Is this the end of human-based online articles and interactions?
It’s been everywhere for a while, but the fediverse seemed like a last bastion up until very recently where I’ve noticed a change.
I sure hope not. At least it’s just a few posts here that are generated for now. If it ever gets to the level of Reddit, I might just leave.
