Follow-up to this morning's post about #AIslop.

@bookstardust @lefteristrip23 suggested I could turn off AI-gen image recommendations on #Pinterest. I did - thank you!

No more LEGO AI slop... but now my feed is 100% illustrations with the same style... and I don't know what to trust anymore.

I found an illustration of NYC really odd (Statue of Liberty in the middle of the city?!?), zoomed in and boom: complete gibberish on a store sign (aka surest sign of AI slop).

No more Pinterest for me 😭

I wish #Pinterest would hurry up and add a "This is muvva friggin AI" option to their reasons for Reporting. Until then, I gotta just mark them all as a 'Conspiracy Theory'.

Trying out the @newsmast client! Adds another layer to picking a server and making an account, as an additional tailoring of the ways I consume, interact with and create content.

I'm really impressed with Steph's analysis. (is she on here yet?) #Pinterest is mostly shoppable and sponsored content. Social media should connect us with other people and their ideas. It's more fun, and healthy that way.

I would love to see this kind of analysis of #facebook, #instagram, #tumblr and #bluesky #sewing #knitting #fiberarts

There are more interesting graphs like this one in her video:

Partially inspired by @rra's post, partially inspired by own sadness that Refern was shut down, I wrote up a blog that exclusively centers anti-AI alternatives to image collectors like Pinterest. this blog helps me think about what i'd have to work with, should i want to try image collecting again.

Y'know what? It'd be really cool to have a #Fediverse equivalent to #pinterest.

What #software #platform tools would you recommend for crowdsourcing a #moodboard ? I would like a group of people to save illustrations from the Web like on #pinterest , with some ability to accept or refuse them.
