Bio
Kenny A. Chaffin began life as a single celled organism inside his mother’s body after a night of lustful sex under the H.S. Football bleachers. He grew up on a black-dirt farm in southern Oklahoma reading superhero comics, science and science fiction, and just wishing to be out, to be somewhere else, to be someone else. His wish was partially granted not by a genie, but by a good GPA and student loans for college where he smoked a lot of dope, did a lot of drugs, managed the student store, met his future wife and dropped out to become a janitor cleaning up after Art students. Having had enough of that he followed his future wife to the Rocky Mountains, got a degree in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering and spent a lifetime in the soul-crushing Corporate Computer World before telling them to stick it and became a poet.

From shrimp Jesus to fake self-portraits, AI-generated images have become the latest form of social media spam

Visually appealing and cheap to produce, AI-generated images allow scammers and spammers to post high volumes of engaging content − and Facebook’s algorithm may be promoting these posts.

I have a friend who is really sweet and I like her a lot. She's also very young and very autistic. Like, 80% of her posts are AI things she's created, lately, and it's frustrating, but I still appreciate the few pics she does of her actual life.

That's actually an interesting application for LLMs - I've read that some people on the spectrum find AI assistance very helpful in communicating with other people.
