   Posting factual information is ... becoming radical. Making it easy to find? Extremist behavior. Not making people look at ads to see it? Downright suspect! How dare you.

     @futurebird Much to my sorrow, image searches now contain an extra workload for me, in that I need to analyze each one for "is this slop?" and I hate that so much.

     Often, the slop appeals more to people, so you get things based on it, which were made by a human.

     It seems very hard to stem the tide, if it's possible at all.

     Even after LLMs get dropped and nvidia dies, the garbage will stay with us for decades.

     @justafrog

     I think we need to get the word out that doing an "image search" for reference images isn't good practice anymore if you care about anything being based on real creatures, plants or anything.

     And it may be very limiting for even fantasy subjects as you are getting normalized and reprocessed image pudding.

     @futurebird They want the same flood of garbage which exists in russian media.

     To destroy any hope of people knowing what's really going on, and organising against it.

     Seeing how bad it's become, I can see why they find it so offensive. I can look at termite photos and not have any random AI gumbo thrown in for no reason. That violates their rights somehow I suppose.

     @futurebird People from the post-reality community really, really hate wikipedia for these sins.
