Star Trek : Atlantis

Wait! What?!!

A show that does not, never did, and is not likely to ever exist.

IMdb however has a stub for this show with a photo of a female captain in a TNG-era uniform sitting on a Galaxy class styled bridge.

It just came up while I was searching for the Starfleet Academy show that will premiere in January 2026.

There was never such a fan project that I am aware of.

So, my conclusion is that it’s an AI hallucination.

Am I missing something?

#AIslop part 3: follow the money

Last night I did a reverse image search for that awful AI-generated illustration of NYC that I had seen on Pinterest... I couldn't find it anymore in my feed and I was curious to see where it was leading... what was the whole point behind it.

Well it lead to... a popular Etsy shop! Someone is creating city illustrations with generative AI and selling digital downloads of them. At 5 dollars a pop.

One of the reviewers wrote: "exactly what I was looking for!" 💀


Follow-up to this morning's post about #AIslop.

@bookstardust @lefteristrip23 suggested I could turn off AI-gen image recommendations on #Pinterest. I did - thank you!

No more LEGO AI slop... but now my feed is 100% illustrations with the same style... and I don't know what to trust anymore.

I found an illustration of NYC really odd (Statue of Liberty in the middle of the city?!?), zoomed in and boom: complete gibberish on a store sign (aka surest sign of AI slop).

No more Pinterest for me 😭


This is the reason why I watch only videos from subscribed account on YouTube. And doing it in my RSS reader. In that way I try to avoid #AIslop.


You seem to be in a very special Fediverse. 😉
Even on Mastodon, I see #AISlop nearly daily (and I already block accounts specialised in that).
The only good difference to big platforms: People often do research and write in comments that it's slop. But the authors nearly never react to such comments, they only look for getting into the trending timeline.
No, the Fediverse can be ugly, too. We have only better filter features and no algorithms for slop.


There are definitely accounts here that post #AISlop images. Many of the ones i see are using them along with the #infosec hashtag which i follow.

While it's certainly better than many other places, there are people who for some reason or another will post links to articles, blogs or whatever and instead of allowing the link preview to generate, will add some AI image.

Usually these are very small accounts here doing it, but i've muted a few large ones doing it as well.


A friend is pissy about Calibre adding A.I. into this ebook manager so they are creating a new fork called Clbre, because the A.I. is being stripped out.

Such a great piece! Looking forward to the book too!

It hit so many things that are so important, I particularly like this part

By the way, there are browsers out there choosing to skip the "AI window" idea completely. vivaldi.com/blog/technology/vi…
