Been a while since my last post, been a bit busy with work and projects etc. But been a bit put off with things on here. I do think we have reduced the number of scammers, either by reporting them or the age verification, that's a positive.
But, I'm feeling uncomfortable with the amount of AI images being posted. To clarify, I think it's fine if you state you are using it, that's being honest. But the ones pretending to be that fake image are abusing the nature of the site. It is suposed to be a social place, somewhere to connect, discuss, and feel part of a community.
The individuals masquerading behind AI generated images suggest to me that they are looking for some kind of personal or sexual gratification, or attempting to mislead other members for their own gains. Is this not fraud, or misleading information? Open for discusion!
Do I, or we, call them out as fake AI posts, Or, accept the negativity of AI as part of what the tech world has become?
And yes, my images are real photographs taken with a real camera, and the subect is me!
