I see a lot of AI generated stuff getting upvoted so here is my real dog, taken by me. It's not great.

What alternative lemmy world are you living in? Lemmy is one of the most hostile to AI communities I know of
They almost always get removed or deleted eventually, but sometimes they'll get upvoted for a few hours until an eagle eyed user spots evidence and calls it out.
It's also not OPs fault most of the time. It's hard to spot them
I see no GenAI content here whatsoever except for what's posted on communities specifically meant for it.
In a general sense, absolutely, but there are still a good number of pro-AI communities around here that typically keep to their own bubbles. Anyone browsing by All will inevitably see them come up here and there.
I also see AI-gen content make it to the top of larger, more general communities like Lemmy Shitpost every now and then. Usually when it's harder to tell that it was generated by AI. When it gets called out, you'll typically see more upvotes than downvotes, but there will inevitably be some AI sympathist or two in the replies who won't hesitate to go off about how it's not a big deal/it's just a meme/there's nothing inherently wrong with AI/etc.
In theory, if we're growing beyond Linux nerds and harcore communists, this should be one of the biggest and most general communities as well as one of the most likely to see slop get upvoted.
ai kittens and puppies make up like 30% of Facebook traffic on their own at this point. if we're worried about ai slop taking over THIS is the community to watch.
