Half the posts in my discover feed are people freaking out a child would dare use an LLM to ask a question.
I’m very aware that LLMs in a capitalist system have myriad ethical problems but my feed really feels like the 2000s fearmongering that teens have access to cellphones and society will thus collapse. Or the 1980s dungeons and dragons moral panic. Or the 70s fearmongering when kids were watching too much TV. Like it feels a bit over the top reactionary. I kind of don’t want it on my feed anymore.
The problem with so much panic is that sooner or later it will cease to be effective and in the end people will not care.
Under Settings > Moderation > Muted Words, you can mute specific keywords. If you want you can also exclude posts from accounts you follow from being muted.
On the Discover feed, you can also click the three dot menu, then click “Show less of this.” However, I’m unsure how effective that is. I don’t think Discover is very good, so I use Popular With Friends instead.
