Like most people, I use the internet to look for inspiration for my hobbies, like cooking, baking, crochet, lettering etc. AI scammers and AI slop are killing my enthusiasm though. I’m using too much time and energy to sift though all the crap in order to find some gems.
What I need is some place to collect and curate trustworthy websites and do a websearch in those sites instead of the whole web whenever I need a recipe or are looking for my next fiber project. Does anybody have ideas or tips how to pull that of?
Honestly I’m buying up as many art reference books as I can get my hands on. Find a lot of them in second hand stores. Lots based on video games, movies or technical references like planes or ships.
Fuck off with that slop. I’m getting these books specifically for real references and not stolen regurgitated amalgamations.
This is a specifically anti ai community. Go peddle your slop elsewhere.
