Eww The other site is putting AI prompts underneath certain tweets. Nope, don't like that. With search engines replacing actual searches with AI summaries, it's going to be harder for actual sources to thrive and harder for people to get what they actually need, information and news wise. - ThreadSky

Bleah. Glad I'm gradually trying to move over here entirely. Basically, once I can follow everyone over here that I follow over there, I'm done with Twitter.

neoriceisgood.bsky.social•59 days ago

This makes me want to cry, roll over and die. What has become of the internet.

gameswithbeanie.bsky.social•59 days ago

Unfortunately, YouTube is also doing this.

caterfree10.bsky.social•59 days ago

The AI summaries are such an eyesore too tbh. Like, if I want to know what a video is about, I can click the video and know that way, jfc.

gameswithbeanie.bsky.social•59 days ago

Scariest part is my suggested replies ACTUALLY sound like me so clearly they’re pulling from what I’ve said in the past, so it’s evolving to sound more realistic. I miss the days where it resembled those terrible Zen Words ads and was obviously fake.

not-meowth.bsky.social•59 days ago

Facebook has been doing that. Not only is it gross, it's also largely actively stupid.

kyonkicchi.bsky.social•59 days ago

That's why I get all of my very important Pokemon news straight from you, and all the unimportant everyday stuff from NPR

robwayne.bsky.social•59 days ago

They'll do anything to justify the environmental and financial costs of a software that few want and even fewer will use.

spinnernite.bsky.social•59 days ago

That's why I keep AI away from my works. Why do you think I stopped posting anything writing or artwork related on that site?

saltyoctopus24.bsky.social•59 days ago

Thank goodness I left Twitter and I’m using both blue sky and Tumblr as my main platforms

stardustbunny.bsky.social•59 days ago

This AI bullshit is sucking all the human element of interaction out of the internet and it sucks so much. One of the greatest inventions, enshittified by the hubris of people who never understood what made it great.

I miss the days when sites just had discussion boards and forums.

voidredshift.bsky.social•59 days ago

The worst part is that the internet is slowly becoming more and more useless to the actual human demographic. Facebook and Instagram are about to be filled with fake people generated by Ai in order to “increase engagement.” Sora Ai is out in the public hands, creating videos of events and animals-

voidredshift.bsky.social•59 days ago

which never existed. Things are going to get worse and worse when Sora gets better.

stardustbunny.bsky.social•59 days ago

It sucks so much. We're already drowning in misinformation and soon it will be nearly impossible to not only avoid it but also to prove it wrong. Reality is going to start getting really warped, more than it already has been.

stardustbunny.bsky.social•59 days ago

I don't know how we can undo the damage AI has done already, let alone in the future when it becomes even more effective.

voidredshift.bsky.social•59 days ago

I don’t think there’ll be any way to undo it. Big tech companies already let the cat out of the bag without considering the effects it would have- or in the case of OpenAi, considering the effects and still choosing to do it anyways for the money. At most, I feel like this is going go send us-

volendral.bsky.social•59 days ago

I'm so tired of generative ai (because let's face it this crap isn't actual AI). Not only is it filled with misinformation, but it is terrible for the environment.

jacksayspurple.bsky.social•59 days ago

Plus, all tweets are getting fed into that terrible Grok AI. Grim. Time to call it a day on there, Joe, it's not worth it.

joemerrick.bsky.social•59 days ago

Engagements there and a good chunk of traffic still comes from there.

I'm there until people aren't unfortunately. Here's my main platform.

jacksayspurple.bsky.social•59 days ago

Fair play! Well, if here is your main platform, maybe that will encourage people to come on over for the extra content/opinions on your personal!

joemerrick.bsky.social•59 days ago

That's the plan :)

This place gets a boost every few weeks when something dumb happens over there. In time it will overake

mikedeft.bsky.social•59 days ago

Reminds me of Facebook 🤢

cm30.bsky.social•59 days ago

Oh god the misinformation is going to be ridiculous. You’re gonna need to debunk a lot of AI nonsense going forward…

joemerrick.bsky.social•59 days ago

Like I wasn’t going to be busy enough disputing the clout goblins misinformation 😭

tudorvii.bsky.social•59 days ago

This is devs (and the billionaires spouting their agendas) decide to code? So people can one click a response on a social platform that more often than not wouldn't be written by any human with two brain cells?

Disgusting.

technicaljim.bsky.social•59 days ago

All Palword players are partially responsible for helping this happen.

technicaljim.bsky.social•59 days ago

The way I see it, it's Somebody's fault & someone deserves to get yelled at, much like the upcoming orange infection returning for absolutely no good reason.

guguig.bsky.social•59 days ago

To avoid this, whenever I search anything remotely connected to Pokémon, I always add "serebii" as a keyword.
Always worked so far, I always find the piece of info I'm looking for!

mallieee.bsky.social•59 days ago

But then how will I ever know how costumes affect gameplay ???? 😂

susa.bsky.social•59 days ago

Eww D:
Luckily people know your website

ryuu-van-draco.bsky.social•59 days ago

So glad I hardly ever use it anymore <_<

nymphinia.bsky.social•59 days ago

😖😖 It's already been starting to get difficult enough god im so tired of the ai bs

cheesecake-exe.bsky.social•59 days ago

The google AI used to tell you when searching 'Where to find Lucky Egg in Pokemon Sword?' that you had to go to an NPC in Jubilife Village. 💀

blazedarkfang.bsky.social•59 days ago

I'm just glad you have worked so hard to report Pokémon new and catalogue so much with Pokémon on Serebii whenever I need to look up anything Pokémon I use Serebii and the fact that Elongated Muskrats X (Twitter) site is shoving AI down your throat and search engines doing the same I hope that

blazedarkfang.bsky.social•59 days ago

People will still be able to find Serebii and your work, even with AI being shoved down everyone's throat when we don't want it.

joemerrick.bsky.social•59 days ago

Yeah, thankfully Serebii has such an abnormally high amount of direct traffic. Whenever Google bumps us down a bit, it doesn't affect too much. When ranked higher, then yay, but it's all good.

The other sites? They live and die based on search engines

voidredshift.bsky.social•59 days ago

Generative Ai is going to just lead to more misinfo, and most likely the downfall pf the internet as a whole. We’re basically witnessing the burning of the library of Alexandria again.
