There Goes Pinterest I Guess (It's Getting Bogged Down With AI Slop)

Not that I've been on it much lately, so me deleting my account won't mean anything to Pinterest. I created my Pinterest account when we first moved from Comm Ave to Lower Allston, as a kind of Look Book for home decor ideas.I also had some pins of 19th Century dinner rings--I had one once and thought I'd get another some day. But now it seems Pinterest is already chock-a-block with AI slop. Why? What are they thinking? That was a purpose-built site for people to share and pin ideas...WITH REAL PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. It's like the old Second Life now,  just fucking around building a virtual world that's not real. Fantasy world. That's supposed to be a positive feature? AI slop has made Pinterest pretty much useless. They claim you can toggle off the AI setting, but doesn't that leave you relying on users to tag it as AI? Yeah. No thanks. Buh-bye.

Facebook (3:40pm January 9)
Facebook is next, not that I’m on it much anymore. It's so grim over there, you guys. They have nudes now--just dicks and vajay-jay all up on my page in the middle of the day. Plus Trumpers spouting their disgusting lies freely and without consequence. And  Suckerburg was just in front of an audience saying what a great thing AI is going to do for Facebook this year. I'm not even going to include the video. It's gross. I've already seen AI on Facebook--Reba McEntire crying at Dolly Parton's deathbed. Paul McCartney crying at Phil Collins' deathbed. Bette Midler crying at Diane Keaton's funeral. Lots of crying. It's so obviously AI, but apparently people are believing it's real.

AI replacing writers?

AI replacing actors?

AI replacing musicians?

AI replacing programmers?

AI replacing Human Resources? 

Isn't this kind of a dangerous path we're on?

It's so odd, I loved feeling like I was delving into one big mood board on Pinterest and now it just feels completely stuffed with the most obtrusive e-waste imaginable.
