Every now and then I see someone complain about fedi being "too AI hostile" but everywhere else I go is *completely deluged* in slop. It's not like it doesn't happen here too but it's nice to be somewhere that feels like a break from all that

@boud Wikipedia's anti-genAI policies are good and people are doing a good work de-sloppifying wherever they can
@cwebber And most "anti-AI" people aren't ranting, they are just being honest and realistic. You don't have to care about the ethical and ecological issues[*], you don't have to have magic future vision..to see that 1) slop sucks and 2) AI is a direct, personal threat to your livelihood.
It's the "tribal" attitudes currently in vogue: if you're not all-in, you're the enemy and my team must win."

@cwebber Poor sloppers only have 99/100 places on the Internet. So, soo oppressed. :(
@cwebber My BSky timeline is *full* of slop. It's exhausting.
@socketwench Are you telling me that fedi doesn't need its own Attie to succeed
@cwebber How about Wikipedia? En.wikipedia *is* deluged in AI slop but has become increasingly strict against LLM usage, apart from very limited exceptions. There's a noticeboard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:AINB and LLM warnings are pasted in articles that are suspected of being LLM-contaminated.
