Are there any social media sites where AI is effectively banned? I know it's not an easy problem but I haven't seen a site even try yet. There's a ton of things you can do to make it harder for bots, ie analyze image metadata, users' keyboard and mouse actions, etc.
- 8organicbits 9mo agoI don't know of any, but my strategy to avoid slop has been to read more long-form content, especially on blogs. When you subscribe over RSS, you've vetted the author as someone who's writing you like, which presumably means they don't post AI slop. If you discover slop, then you unsubscribe. No need for a platform to moderate content for you... as you are in control of the contents of your news feed.

- Ronsenshi 9mo agoI'm all for that, but how would this realistically work? Given enough effort you can produce AI content which would be impossible to tell if it's human-made or not. And in the same train of thought - is there any way to avoid unwarranted hate towards somebody who produced real human-made content that was mistaken for AI-content?
- happosai 9mo agoThere are mastodon communities such https://mastodon.art/ https://mastodon.art/ where AI is explicitly banned.
- raincole 9mo agoThe said hypothetical social media, if gaining any traction, will be the heaven for adversarial training.
- voidUpdate 9mo agoApparently the vine restart will explicitly ban ai content. Thus providing an excellent source of untainted training data, but that's beside the point
- rsynnott 9mo agoNot actually banned on Bluesky, but the community at large is so hostile to it that, generally, there's very little AI stuff.
- dpkirchner 9mo agoIt's impossible, so I figure we may as well accept it when browsing rando's content (or just don't read any of it) and reject it when interacting with friends and family. What else can you really do?
- pants2 9mo agoSure, it's impossible to block everything, but you can at least make it difficult enough to post AI slop that the spammers go elsewhere. Most social media sites haven't even tried and are in fact actively encouraging AI slop.
