Question for folks as it&#39;s been an annoyance for some time. Would you prefer actual gaming content or a quick AI picture attached to some non news. Asking for a friend (me) who feels like they are banging their head against the wall in a GenAI apocalypse #VideoGames #RetroGaming #Gamers #Retro

@PixelBandits@nerdculture.de actual, every time. I see genAI “content” I unfollow as a general rule

@PixelBandits@nerdculture.de Anything that is shat out with AI images gets immediate closed and if applicable blocked. People who use AI images will also use AI text, and it's pointless to waste a single second on some hallucination generated only to collect ad money. If one element is slop, the whole thing is slop. #noAI #slop

@PixelBandits@nerdculture.de I care for less but more substantial news, and no, I don't need AI generate slop to attract interest. It is more of turn off.

@PixelBandits@nerdculture.de I’d rather see someone’s stick figure drawings than AI slop because it shows a level of effort has been put into the work. If someone can’t be bothered to create something, I can’t be bothered to look at it.
