Yes. And it's both funny and tragic how 1) people blame slop on AI when it was provably there before the LLM boom (for the reasons you listed) and 2) SEO gurus a busy at it again, citing - I kid you not - fairness.

For people who trusted copyright laws to rein in AI, this should be the last scene in Animal Farm. “They looked from IP to Tech, and from Tech to IP, but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
The Walt Disney Company and OpenAI reach landmark agreement to bring beloved characters from across Disney’s brands to Sora

valve doesn't allow artistic nudity in a genre historically full of it, but it does allow you to use their review system as a soapbox to tell everyone how much you hate muslims and transgender people 👍🏼 its about ethics guys. In games journalism.
Since I posted this yesterday:
- The writer of the "I hate muslims" review has doubled down, and added that they also hate transgender people
- Valve removed my flag from the review, with nothing done about it. The review remains up and on our Steam page
I say again: Is this what Steam is now?

Valve: The company that takes 30% of your revenue in order to let their customers say horribly racist things about your game
Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.

Jesus, just stop. Democrats are winning now.
And if some voters feel this way about Democrats, a major reason is that THE FUCKING CONSULTANTS KEEP SAYING THE PARTY IS TOO LIBERAL AND OUT OF TOUCH. They incessantly reinforce the stereotype.

The Times yesterday, on how trans kids, denied the healthcare they need, are buying black market hormones.
Of course, this is *exactly* what everyone said would happen. And its risks are dramatically amplified by Streeting telling GPs they must stop offering blood tests.

damn really makes you reflect on the numerous other times the US government and its proxies have said "terrorists" were using "human shields"
It’s clear from the video this woman had just come to the park to play with her child. She said as much and was upset that there were masked men with guns in the park.
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino calls the woman an “activist” and Andy Ngo says the woman was using her child as a “human shield.”
