Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Even if I went offline, so far I have seen ai slop seeping into:
I can’t imagine how much worse it’ll get with the flood gates opened.
I would not want to be a stock photographer or model right now.
I’m conflicted. The stock photo industry has been broken for a long time, with Getty actively maintaining and orchestrating an illegal monopolistic trust. I feel inclined to champion almost anything that threatens their illegal, predatory business model.
I see it everywhere, constantly:
At work in stupid images for meetings and unhelpful and inaccurate AI summaries designed to make us more productive. I love Ghibli, but with all the Ghibli profile images I see there it's making me hate seeing the art style.
On meetup event descriptions, where the photos are either cartoons or deceptive, photorealistic representations of a meetup in action instead of a less glamorous real photo.
Reviews, product descriptions, news articles, SEO farms in search results, paid bot comments on practically every single video in order to manipulate engagement stats...
I'm just so tired of the slop, the lack of care, everywhere I look. It's exhausting.
On playstation there's several games that were just released by the same scammer. One game, Gun shop simulator, looks to have ai generated textures, page description, and even the screenshots of gameplay. The main logo of the shop changes in every screenshot.
The screenshots of the game. Generated. What is Sony thinking? It's like nobody is at the helm anymore.
I guess we're all too busy watching number go up to actually manage anything. For them it's their stock prices, for me it's my seed ratio!
