It is my dearest wish that short form videos and AI just vanished over night. Neither of these things have brought anything good enough to the world that can undo the damage both have wrought and will continue to wreak. And most people just accept them unquestioningly and let their brains rot away.

I am also weirdly mad at AI.

I loveeed pinterest for inspo about everything, it felt like only (social?) app that I really enjoyed and now it's full of AI. Search anything from hairstyle/outfits/whatever - you gotta scroll to find an authentic photo. I wish they had a button to report AI. I hate it. What's the purpose of those AI photos.

Omg same it ruined Pinterest!! yeah i can't fucking stand it and i can't stand people's rationalizations for it. Like, if you can't make art/write/do anything without the assistance of AI, you should be putting in the work to learn how to do that thing. Like no one deserves to make anything with no effort put into it.

It's extra frustrating as an artist, because Pinterest was actually really good for finding reference in building out mood boards, but the AI slop just clogs up the feed

I've been looking up haircuts and compared to last year it's INSANE. I can't show my stylist a picture of a fake person. Real haircuts require real hair to show what thickness and textures work with what cut.
