The scrappy indie store itch.io is facing a problem - lots and lots of AI slop getting uploaded to it, but they're attempting to fight back against it.

    They should also add a filter for gooner furry slop.

    Yet to read the article, but the headline makes it sound like it wasn’t already full of asset flips, lazily made AI contents being an extension to those.

      Alternatively, you could read the article and know for sure what it actually says.

        It’s a strategy of manipulation to write a headline in a way that headline readers will get the wrong idea despite the headline technically not being wrong, and also making people that do read the article to already hop in with a bias.

          The headline is there solely to get you to read the article.

            Doesn’t make it less of a venue for such strategies.

              You must be the smartest person in your room.

      Interestingly if you do want to know there’s a neat article attached to the headline that has information on it.

        Quoting my other reply:

            Going to offense now, it seems. Not someone to have a conversation with, then.

              If you had simply read the article instead of assuming on the headline we wouldn’t be here.
