   AI Slop 😭
   
   I've had a sleep and decided that I'm going to tell you exactly who the people are that I mentioned in my last post about being disheartened to see AI here on Pixelfed.
   1) The ladybird/bug "photo" by Ducgris
   2) The Amsterdam Canal "photo" by Jessnatarte (or as @NYSloth deduced - "Just not art')
   What gets me as well is putting your own name on it and pretending you took this "photo". 🤬
   
   I've decided to tell you because letting these things go, especially at a time like this where AI is becoming a significant problem, is just helping these AI users.
   
   And maybe you don't care. Fine. But at least be informed and aware.
