Japanese artists are having discoverability issues on Pixiv due to the overabundance of AI imagery.
@hideki yet I can see posts from pleroma users with that, and more than just 4 photos. It's pretty lame :P
@beardalaxy yeah, it surely is a limitation that it's because of some kind of ideal of the programmer, because as you've said, the protocol doesn't really have that kind of limitation.
@hideki @beardalaxy It's literally just this way because that's the exact same thing Twitter does
@applejack @hideki @beardalaxy This sentence is honestly the reason for a lot of Masto’s completely unnecessary limitations
@applejack @beardalaxy *did
@pipivovott i guess it doesn't really matter as long as it drives people to the site and spend money
@hideki It's especially annoying due to the sheer amount of content an AI generator can put out. They just need a few prompts, a few runs, and there's a hundred images ready to go. Even more prolific artists will manage maybe 5 proper pieces a week. So a small amount of AI posters can share as much as a massive amount of real artists.
@hideki There’s more AI than human art on pixiv being posted at this point. I thought it might burn itself out but it’s actually only got worse over time.
"Cannot attach a video to a post that already has an image"
That's one of the parts of the retarded side of the Mastodon software.
