Weird right?
But for me it also highlighted how useful a setting it is, I think I posted a bunch of images without alt text before I realized it. 🤦♂️🤦♂️

I think that makes it worse, but I think you are right. That means for some reason, they are adjusting settings on some accounts, but not others 🤷♂️
I have had it enabled since it was first available. But It was suddenly turned off, when I just checked.

Ah, got it! I missed that. Those numbers are sadly low.
But I know personally my reading rates vary a lot, year to year, based on book length & style, as well as my own schedule.
Someone just got me to unearth my long-dormant goodreads acct, to share and discover reading ideas. Last year was 🥱

2025 politics really wrecked my brain for reading. So I'm trying to pick back up again this year.
But what does half of all books mean? As long as I read at least half of every book in my TBR pile? Or half the TBR list? Can I get credit for ones I start but abandon when I don't like them? 😆

Bibliography cleanup is known to be harder than AGI. Same with successfully connecting a laptop with a projector. It's what we humans will be doing long after the robot takeover. 😇

Compared to all the figures and diagrams I've seen that from generative AI, that diagram is not nearly as bad as it could've been. I mean, it actually even has real English words and letters.
But yeah, the science I've seen in any of them have all been really bad.

In my experience any impact was drowned out by the overall culture of sexist commentary and professionally inappropriate sexual innuendo, jokes, and commentary, especially in educational settings.
