people do generally understand but it feels good to mention anyway

Hiro @heron8.bsky.social · 6h

kind of unrelated but people need to understand that what most people call "AI" is specifically "Generative AI", there are many of better types of AI, like enemy AI in games.

Unfortunately, there is no way to block all AI content from your feed as of right now, so this should help people know the difference between what's real and what's not.

In a similar vein, I have created another account here on bluesky that exists solely to point out posts or creators that actively use AI so as to spread awareness so that you can know who and what to avoid.

I won't be actively updating it but I will watch EVERY anti-AI video that is recommended to me and save it to the playlist.
This is the least I could do to attempt to help. Every case here can be applied to more than just art. Code, text, music, even voices all fall under this umbrella.

I'm tired of having to explain to friends and peers exactly why A.I as a whole is bad, so I'm going to do something to spread the word.
I'm curating a playlist of EVERY video I watch that says why AI is bad, who uses and supports it, and what people can do to help stop it's rampant spread.

How about Shard from the archie comics? He's always been my favourite metal Sonic (any iteration of Metal would be cool though)

If it's even worse on mobile, then you pprobably have nothing to worry about considering im on mobile right now and i couldnt see any blurring until i focused on specifically how blurry it was and zoomed in
