‼️ REMOVE AIslop from your PINTEREST results.‼️
Let's see how true this is....

1. Go to ‘Refine your recommendations’ and remove everything related to ‘generative AI interests’.

Un truc que j'aime particulièrement et qui m'aide à tenir, c'est les gens qui fabriquent/créent des trucs. Ça a pas besoin d'être bon, j'aime juste énormément voir les gens faire des trucs. Essayer, s'appliquer, s'intéresser, se renseigner
