A lot of people on Bluesky automatically block anyone using it or posting it. AI is very harmful to

discussion boards and other social media.

Including via AI companies stealing content for training data, rarely showing where the content they stole came from, diverting traffic from the sites they stole from, and scraping content so often they drive up those websites' costs. As EarlG has mentioned happening here at DU, with the AI companies' bots.

AI companies are doing tremendous damage to the internet, and much faster than I'd expected. And the AI-befuddled people posting AI slop are helping them do that damage.
