Dear Bluesky,
When I uncheck "Autoplay videos and GIFs" in settings, I would like that choice to persist between sessions. Would you please consider your low-bandwidth users before bombarding us with HD video as soon as we login? Thanks!

An AI writes a poem. A human reads it and feels something.
But does the AI feel anything? Does it even know what it's saying?
AI is advancing, but true understanding remains elusive. Can we bridge the gap? Read more:

We praise AI for writing stories, making art, even composing music. But let’s be real—does it actually understand any of it? 🤨
If AI lacks true comprehension, should we call it ‘creative’ at all? Let’s discuss. ⬇️

AI can create, but does it truly understand? 🤔
We marvel at AI's creativity, but is it just mimicking patterns—or grasping meaning? Let's explore the line between creation & comprehension.

Is AI evil?

Luddites may be the loudest voices on Bluesky, but their case seems more emotional than substantive.
“Using AI to enhance art is also tantamount to an acceptance that culture has stopped, that everything is recursive and we have no fresh terrain left to explore.”
High Infidelity | Aaron Timms
To incorporate AI into the production of art today—no matter how sparingly—is to endorse Silicon Valley’s politics and worldview.

Wow. An apology even. As if human-generated stock photos are so great. 🤷
Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.

The story's not perfect, but there's more coherence to the absurdity this time. Maybe AI can actually produce decent fiction?

Feedback is appreciated.

5/6 The vortex of our digital age pulls us in, a tunnel of fragmented realities leading to an endless skyline. As we rush forward, what echoes back to you? The structure, the story, or the fragments of yourself reflected in this chaos?
