Uses an AI image on the thumbnail lmao

Meh. If you're using any platform for free, assume what you say will be used for monetization.

If you're using Tumblr/WordPress.com... chances are your content is public anyways.

Meanwhile they're harvesting Lemmy for free! Yay!

AI programmed using Reddit, Tumblr and WordPress data - along with Facebook and all the other social media sources.... Skippy's attitude makes a lot of sense.

Isn't WordPress open source

Can we get An AI mod for this sub to filter out reposts?

As a former user this kinda makes me feel weirdly proud. Like I knew the whole time I was releasing the text for free to everyone, I'm not pissed about this getting monetized any more than I was pissed about the ads on Tumblr and (free) WordPress sites.

But to whatever extent my personality came out through my text, I pushed to whatever small degree the subsequent LLMs to respond like me. I'm one small part of the AI just like I am one small part of humanity, but it's not nothing.
