I'd recommend uBlock Origin! Keeps you from having to deal with that AI ad slop and just makes browsing the internet a much nicer experience

The Taboola ads and any like them have always been garbo. It's almost surprising they're practically everywhere.

I will never understand why somebody like NBC News would want to torch their brand with this garbage.

Is there some agreed-upon phrase to describe the weird generative image "sheen"? Like, I genuinely don't know how to describe it better than that. But each of these pictures has that off-putting "sheen".

It's not "uncanny valley" but it's at least uncanny valley adjacent.

All my ads look like this now, it’s just AI slop.

Had to look up "uncanny valley" when I chose a YouTube yesterday.

Clicked away immediately.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but is an economy increasingly reliant on AI-generated futile attempts to peddle crap over all available bandwidth really sustainable?
