Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/[email protected] - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Brought to you by chrome being the biggest browser and it willfully enshittifying adblockers, which incidentally made searching way more tedious and funneled people to LLMs.
I think the AI hype will die when it gets enshittified enough.
At first they'll start injecting sponsored results, then it's going to be pay up or watch 3 adds before access, while still showing the product-placed content regardless.
Companies will be offered a "professional subscription" just to use it without the first two ads.
Right now, it's free, because they want people to get addicted to he ease of answers that was previously supplied by search engines.
At no point will they ever generate the content that people are searching for. Googles main mission is to obstruct people from getting that.
Best case, wiith enough competition, AI is just going to be another layer to see through, because previous versions of the internet has been made unusable by advertising.
