A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

No. No it wasn't. Pinterest bombards you with irrelevant images, tries to get you to click on as many things as necessary without making clear what is an ad or not, then forces you to create an account on their platform to view anything.
That's not even going into how it hosted artwork from other artists and never gave sources or credit, or had advertisements that used stolen art.
Pinterest was absolute trash. Has always been absolute trash. And its AI implementation doesn't particularly change how trash it is.
When I used to use Google, and then later with DuckDuck Go, I used plugins which allowed me to filter out certain domains from search results, specifically to get rid of all the Pinterest results.
