<p>I&#x27;m so tired. People, I am not interested in reading *blogs* generated with claude, gemini or chatgpt. No, not even ones proofread by AI. Do it yourself. I do not wish to even accidentally click on &quot;one-shotted&quot; dummy projects. Don&#x27;t show me your AI-generated analysis of anything. Above all, I do not wish to see images/artwork someone prompt created.</p><p>I value real content, with all its good and bad quirks, from actual human beings. </p><p>Somebody please normalize auto-tagging of AI generated content across all formats - text, images and code so I can blanket ban them from my personal computer.</p><p>This is a plead for help I never thought I&#x27;ll have to make.</p><p><a href="/tags/noai/" rel="tag">#noai</a> <a href="/tags/enshittification/" rel="tag">#enshittification</a> <a href="/tags/writing/" rel="tag">#writing</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/reading/" rel="tag">#reading</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/quotes/" rel="tag">#quotes</a> <a href="/tags/quote/" rel="tag">#quote</a> <a href="/tags/cybersec/" rel="tag">#cybersec</a> <a href="/tags/mentalhealth/" rel="tag">#mentalhealth</a> <a href="/tags/adhd/" rel="tag">#adhd</a> <a href="/tags/art/" rel="tag">#art</a> <a href="/tags/cooking/" rel="tag">#cooking</a> <a href="/tags/blog/" rel="tag">#blog</a> <a href="/tags/indieweb/" rel="tag">#indieweb</a></p>
