  • If it is Top, then that is what people are choosing to upvote. But you don’t have to browse by Top. PieFed even offers keyword filters, plus the ability to unsubscribe from all such communities while also allowing you to see them with just the touch of a button to go to a Topic Feed showing it when you (rarely) actually do want it. You could also replicate this behavior in Lemmy, but it takes having one account per Internet area and that’s a huge pain. Or you could just sort by New. Or block the users submitting such content. The list of configuration options available to you is practically endless, and nowhere explained in the slightest degree that would be helpful:-).

    !nonpolitical_comics@piefed.social does a pretty good job of keeping that stuff out.



  • Presumably software ENgineering, as in having their desire to see an end to the era where humans actually designed and built things and now wanting to outsource that job to letting the computer do all the hard parts, yet still feewing (sic) “powerful” and “in control”, despite having no power to do anything at all and next to zero control beyond being at the mercy of essentially an autocorrect.

    To be fair: (1) our current ability to see AI-generated slop is merely an extension of the past ability to see human-generated slop; and (2) the era of distrusting any “expert” system has most definitely predated any software tool now labelled as a"i" - see e.g. the current gutting of all “institutions” in the USA.

    Company has a toy and they need to SELL SELL SELL, who really cares if the product actually generates anything beyond simply trash or not - won’t someone think of the poor, poor whittle billionaires?

    Disinformation is a helluva drug. 🤕🤢🤮
