benefit of the doubt that was thier strategy, it was pretty clear during trumps trials last year, they were just stringing it along, hoping to drop it in end, it actually backfired on what they intended for him to be aired 24/7, instead of helping get dems votes, it actually increased support for trump.

if you dont count in the election rigging fuckery at the end of the elelection rigging.

AI is meming now.

AI is probably doing Tshirts too. All those many many T-shirt sites with churned out “humor” that falls flat or feels slightly off.

Where's the Ai?

Jurassic Park and Barney, both famously AI

Everything you don't like is AI? Not only are you doing a disservice to the real problems with the Democrats, you're crying wolf about AI slop in a post featuring screenshots from well known sources. I'm fairly confident I saw this format in the 2010s, and it wouldn't surprise me if it's older.

You're probably attached to your identity as a Democrat and just can't stand people criticizing your tribe.

I’m not a democrat. Nor do I think the present party has any strength beyond that of a wet spaghetti noodle. Nor do I have anything to do with the army of dipshits in MAGA gear. Bernie winning 2016 would’ve been the right timeline. This one sucks. Do I turn out and vote like an adult anyway, to avoid abject errors like Trump? Yes. But I’m not a democrat.

AI is ruining us already. The gross dependency on it for the most basic of tasks, like writing a sentence, is a malignancy that’s destroying both critical thinking and art. So yea, you’re probably right that I’m a bit over focused on that problem. But maybe not. Either way, there’s no need to draw nasty assumptions that reach far beyond the AI problem simply because you don’t like my focus on the AI problem.

You AI haters are so ridiculous, it's your boogieman you see in every shadow.

Your attempt to make dislike of AI slop and churn sound like a bad thing has failed.

I would dearly love to never see another popup random name Tshirt company with themed “humor” that falls flat or reads as slightly weird because it’s just shy of hitting the mark or has the feel of trying too hard. (Great trainer though, you’ll know what “hits” by buys.)

Or, to never experience another pre election run like Nov24 where an endless deluge of Israel/Pakistan horror flooded the Lemmy and Reddit feeds only to abruptly shut off on Nov5.

I’ve always just blocked Pinterest in my browser, the eyeroll that it is, but my understanding is it’s dominated by AI imagery now.

Of course you'd also think criticism of the genocide was from bots. You know why so many of our voices stopped? Because we kept getting banned for speaking up.

Reddist as a whole and especially subreddits like WorldNews are entirely Zionist controlled, banning and blocking all Palestianian/Anti-Zionist content.

.world was barely any fucking better.

What you’re saying isn’t in doubt, but it doesn’t fit the pattern of what I’m describing. Ofc there are people who oppose the Israel/Palestine war. I never said no one opposed it. I also never said I was for it.

The point of the description is there was a deluge. Daily multiples across forums, subs, endless. The deluge abruptly stopped on Nov 5. The genocide didn’t stop on Nov 5, but the endless fury of posts across social media did.

I understand that no one likes to face or feel manipulation, but there it is.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 6 points 1 week ago

You're seeing a conspiracy where one doesn't exist.

Why would people continue to post about the topic as much afterwards? What do you think the intention of getting the recognition was for? Afterwards people were demoralised and angry at other pressing world events (Trump winning), of course it's going to become overtaken in the news cycle by that.
