Friends, there’s a post making the rounds with this AI generated image. Don’t fall for it.

I’m pointing it out because it’s going viral here. The person sharing it seems to enjoy all the criticism and attention they get from it going viral.

This is how it works on the big platforms: get people pissed. Make them give you clicks and higher ranking.

Don’t fall for it. It’s not how we want it to work here, is it. Block, and move on.

AI generated picture of a very relaxed person with a leaf blower apparently blowing some red pepper spray back at another person in camouflage gear. There’s of course no wind, they are no other people around. Neither is wearing a gas mask or other protective gear.

@nellie_m Ah, thanks for the heads up. I’ll hunt down my boost and remove it. Why do people do this?
