And as I said, I, and only I, have posted 1 image, how the hell do you translate that into ‘if everyone else is gonna do the same’? They’re never going to do that, so it’s irrelevant.
Even if by some magic that your scenario of the entire Lemmy community decide to get together and post 1 AI image did come to fruition (absurd suggestion) Lemmy doesn’t run on the same algorithm as Pinterest. It’s 2 different systems. You’re assuming that should people do that, it would have the same effect on two completely different social media platforms that don’t run the same algorithm.
I understand the point you’re making, but your point is nonsense because everyone on Lemmy would never come together and do that. Your point also depends on your comparison between Pinterest and Lemmy, but what you're missing is that you’re overlooking 3 things:
they run on different algorithms. Pinterest has an AI based algorithm that is now trained to purposely churn up more AI content when you view AI content. Lemmy is not an AI algorithm, doesn’t do that, doesn’t prioritise AI content at all, it’s just first-post-first-see (think active, new, etc.) they run on fundamentally different systems.
their interfaces are different. When you click on a pin on Pinterest, it loads up similar (AI for AI clicks) images that you can scroll through endlessly, thereby giving AI content more views. When you click on a Lemmy post, it’s literally just that, no links to other AI content.
But all that aside, the notion of a million Lemmy users each posting 1 AI image is a completely fictitious scenario because…
the users are completely different. Pinterest has 64 million users who don’t mind AI. Lemmy doesn’t even have 1 million, and of its users, most of them don’t like AI and wouldn’t even post 1. Yeah, you might get the handful who like or tolerate AI who post a few images, but the simple fact is, your point about a everyone on lemmy making AI posts is completely fictitious and would never happen so is completely irrelevant-
Again, I posted 1 image, not multiple ones. I don’t know how you can get that I’m not upset with Pinterest from that. You’re misinterpreting what I’m trying to say if you think I like Pinterest
I didn’t post in on Pinterest though. I posted it here. Once.
And to be clear: accounts on Pinterest don’t just post once — if they did, we would not be in this mess. They post multiple times though out the day. Thats how Pinterest has ended up in its mire, and it’s the point I was trying to make.
I’m not complaining about AI slop itself, but the sheer mass of it on the platform. Plus the use of AI in the algorithm. I don’t mind the use of AI, my point is I can’t stand how rampant it is there now. Sorry if I didn’t make that clear. Also I posted 1 AI image, that doesn’t even compare to 1 million.
So basically they’re admitting that they’re even breaking the copyright law? Man, there is just so much wrong with this. I knew Pinterest was bad, but I didn’t think it was that bad. Shame on Pinterest.
That’s because you’re looking at it through the wrong lens. I’m not really talking about as an artist. Back in the day, Pinterest was more used as a social media platform centred around images, for people to share pics of tier family, their day, what they found interesting etc. Rather like how YouTube was originally intended to be a dating social media site before it pivoted. I don’t know the original intent of what Pinterest was meant to be, but I remember that’s how Pinterest was used at the time.
I do hope you don’t mean me, because my previous reply was aimed at those who would do such things (I’m not on a crusade to change Pinterest, except exposing criminal activity from the inside, which I can’t go into any further detail here, but isn’t relevant anyway). My point is, if any of them who want to read this, my advice is, do something more helpful than what is effectively spam.
And that’s something I think the ‘fans’ don’t appreciate. They just expect the showrunners to be able to tell compelling stories whilst being able to stitch everything together with absolutely no inconsistencies or contradictions, which is practically impossible in any show, let alone a 60-year-old time travelling sci-fi show. The fans don’t realise how hard it must be for the writers to try to make compelling stories, only for them to have their work so meticulously picked apart and slated for no good reason.

Pfft. That all you got? Poor thing.
Oh look, you used an emoji! The junk effort of conversations!

Your point being?
That’s optimistic for an AI model.
ETA: Also, hopefully, it taught ‘AI’ to end every sentence with a full stop.

What’s your question?
random slop, actually
True. You know what? You’ve inspired me to make this a ‘fuck Pinterest’ community. Well done

Maybe a protest or a petition? Something like that I guess.
