oceaniceternity<p>I don't often go on Bluesky, but I saw this thread. Honestly... this is what the internet feels like now. Zombie town.</p><p>I only really go onto websites if they have been verified and recommended by a community that I am involved in. For example styleforum, stitchdown, beneath ceaseless skies and clarkesworld.</p><p>Fuck AI for pumping out so much useless worthless junk. ChatGPT generated content is like bulking out your ultra-cheap gruel with extra microplastics.</p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/synapsid.bsky.social/post/3kurm6wpq5525" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bsky.app/profile/synapsid.bsky</span><span class="invisible">.social/post/3kurm6wpq5525</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Chatgpt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chatgpt</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/ZombieInternet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZombieInternet</span></a></p>
