“why is this useless shit being shoved in my face?” Because you allow it to.

  That's not really a useful answer. I'm looking for the motive, which (when it's something you're not directly looking for) is usually money. I fully understand that "stop using the service" is an option.

    Fair enough. Let me rephrase it: Because "they" don't care on what kind of method they can use to extracting money from everything that makes you you. The algorithms have a simple task: Try and shove as much possible methods in your systems to get you to spend money.

      Right, and given this is usually the answer to "why is this being shoved in my face", my initial point stands - it doesn't matter if it's AI slop or not. The article makes the point that a lot of people are easily fooled into interacting with fake AI stuff. My wider point is that regardless of how 'real' the images are, someone's trying to get you to look at bullshit for profit reasons, either the platform's or their own, therefore it's all best ignored.

        I completely agree with your wider point.
