I find it terrifically amusing (and somewhat disappointing) that an obvious AI slop video from some BS YouTube monetized nonsense account will get absolutely Rec'd to the moon. Even after several DU'ers (thank you folks) will point out that it's AI slop, the incoming comments and Recs continue, because why bother to read the thread/feedback? Why question if it's even real to begin with? Why spend 10 seconds Google/DDG searching for a like news posting somewhere? The AI slop then spreads, shared on Facebook, TikTok or whatever other brainrot central gathering one chooses.
It's like watching one of those videos of an iced over highway. There's a 20 car pileup, lights, blinkers, hazards are all on, people are waving and shouting to slow down, yet here comes another dozen vehicles at full speed right into the pileup.
Also "fun" is watching the DU homepage, with the video posting down the right side when it looks like a bad National Enquirer feed.
I'm not questioning nor saying anything negative about the way the site is run or moderated. AI is what it is, and it's not a violation of the TOS on its face in many circumstances, I guess.
I just re-read this, and maybe "no" was the wrong answer, now that I think of it.
*wink*
