An author recently reflected on the feedback received regarding their online posts. The author's friend, Scott, published an article detailing the cost of a solar system. The author anticipated some "AI-slop responses" for Scott's post, but instead, the author received such comments on their own blog entry.
The author's blog post, which focused on the effort put into explaining privacy, featured a computer-generated illustration. The author noted that a significant portion of the feedback concentrated on the illustration being computer-generated, which was an unexpected reaction given the post's primary subject. The author also observed that this type of feedback appeared to align with the political leanings of users on the Mastodon platform. The author mentioned a prior blog post titled "If You Don't Want Guitar Lessons, Stop Following Me," in response to what they perceived as unnecessary comments.
