17. No. I'm not a fan of AI-generated images, which is apparently most of what you post lately.

I've been trying to ignore them, though I know how real artists and liberals like union menbers react to AI "art" on Bluesky, and I've posted general messages about that -
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220895856 - because I think genAI stuff shows contempt for artists and having it posted here looks bad for DU.

I saw your name among the replies to so many threads I looked at and responded to recently, though, that it surprised me. So I did a quick search and saw you'd posted nearly 500 times in the last month, most of the replies apparently AI-generated images, judging by a quick sampling. That's about a tenth of all your posts since 2008, which is why your sudden increase in posting was so noticeable. I wasn't looking for your posts. You'd made them almost unavoidable.

I have no idea if you knew before you posted that quote from Alibaba that it was AI-generated. But it was pretty hard to miss the reference to April 2026 prices, which no one knows yet, and to other errors.
