I’ve seen some, but it’s way, way less common than the major corporate platforms, but since there’s no pay and no ads to make money off of, it’s not too surprising. As the article briefly mentions, there’s just too much monetary incentive to make junk vs quality content on most for-profit platforms.

Yeah, the beauty of the diverse in that context is that you can just make a blocklist, and most significant communities have a general distaste for ML-generated slop, often to the point of making rules against it. And there’s not really any real profit motive, because it’s intentionally not set up to easily monetize shit that way.
