DIE! DIIIIEEEEE!!!!!

I'm surprised they weren't struggling sooner given their reputation for putting out non-AI slop.

womp womp

The AI started writing beyond their primary audience's reading range /s

Only two words I can think of to say to this: Fucking lmao.

Wait I got two more: Good riddance.

Let's hope this trend continues for all brands that do this.

I don’t get it. How can you even tell the difference?

The only good thing to come from AI.

The brutal reality check seemingly hasn’t put Peretti off from pursuing AI, though. He now says he’s hoping to bring “new AI apps to the market” this year.

Was recently thinking this might happen to Pinterest, too. Their webpage was never great, with how it tried to prevent you from downloading images, when that was literally the only reason I would ever visit. But at least, they did have a big database of images and a decent algorithm for detecting visual similarity.

And well, they have an even bigger database of images now, but the majority of it is not worth looking at, because the images are not real. I don't bother visiting anymore, because you can't find anything worthwhile on there anymore.

They did announce going all-in on AI at some point, but I don't know, if they actually decided to generate images themselves. That seems almost too stupid.
Could be that they have some financial incentives for folks posting and that alone lead to tons of AI-generated uploads. I don't actually know how Pinterest was supposed to work...

They're still around? I thought they'd long went bankrupt.

They still exist?
