Let us filter AI slop, you cowards - Online platforms could prove whether AI labels work by giving us a filter option, but then they’d have to face reality. (www.theverge.com)

It's a nice thought, but the people in charge have too much of their personal fortunes wrapped up in AI to offer us any real agency in whether or not we use it.

However, depending on the product, you can actively choose to use it less. I made a video on my YT channel a few months ago about steps you can take in order to (over time) train the YouTube algorithm to offer you less AI slop, but yeah, there's no magic bullet unless you actively seek out and use FOSS applications.

Getting off youtube is the sure way to stop all that noise. Plus you’re helping double by stopping the flow of capital to fascists

Unfortunately the current state of the digital ecosystem means that there is no YT alternative, so many have no choice.

But people can still use the product in a more conscientious way.

I subscribed to nebula.tv, at 3 EUR per month its reasonably priced but I don't know I use it way less than I anticipated. But it is still my way out. Many of the content creators I like are there too and non of the slop is but it is not a full replacement, the content is much more limited and no comments either.

I tried PeerTube a little, but had a similar experience. Even on the larger instances, it's just not a reasonable alternative at all.

No, they can’t. Every advertiser dollar is being funneled into Google, the known fascist company.

Stop feeding the beast, you 100% have a choice to stop watching braindead fascism
