How is the AI/Non AI decided? It's very low resolution, but there dwarf on the right seems very detailed to be AI (at least pure AI).
Ah, Pinterest. The site I would go to to look at things, it would say "you can't look at things without an account" and I would say, "then I won't" ... and I would then leave.
Oh, don’t forget the search result that showed a pinterest image that you click on to see a high res version, but the image is nowhere to be found after landing on the pinterest site.
Even if you had an account it’s still shit.
duckduckgo's image search is the best way to peruse pinterest images
Everything needs a fucking account these days. The net used to be great, but it seems we're at an inflection point to see if it's just gonna keep getting worse. I'm not too hopeful unfortunately
Yeah I had enough of their crap to the point I got an addon that removes them from search/image results.
Fun fact if they removed those images the other ones would scoot up. It's a reactive design.
AI is not polluting, the users are… AI does only what is asked.
That true, but I don't think its a helpful way of looking at it.
A big issue with AI is precisely how just a few people can inundate the rest of us with their mass-produced slurry of AI content.
True but pinterest needs to ban AI
Or the users that post the bs… I think that would clean up much more.
Wow who'd have thought there were no real photos of ogres? I'm shocked.
but actual artwork does exist? so when you want art references for style references, why should you be forced to see a bunch of AI?
I explicitly filter out pinterest from my search results because it's garbage
It's weird that the OP has such high regard for Pinterest. I have always seen it as search-result polution and never really understood why it exists, other than as proof that we need to have search functions like "-site:____".
Before Ai Pinterest had stolen pictures without crediting or linking to the real artists while this shit got pushed to every image search. I hope this will be its final nail in the coffin.

Truly they were ahead of the times.
Yeah that's what this guy is doing. Then he cries about "AI".
People posting pictures without crediting or linking to the artist? Who would've thought that could happen on my Internet
And these tweets are almost a year old. His Pinterest feed must just be a white screen by now.
Somewhat unrelated, but I'm glad to see more and more posts using xcancel.
Xcancel is just nitter. I think writing 'nitter.net' is easier than trying to spell cancel, lol. But it's good to have many different servers.
How is it possible to filter out those images? The ads are easy, but LLM content is harder when it comes to automatic removal.
Pinterest would need to hire people to better moderate their content.
Ostensibly the onus would be on the user not to post them in the first place (or at least tag them), but if the users are spammers then… shrug.
Maybe we should have small, networked clusters of minimal-profit communities interested in moderating themselves? Nah, the internet was never like that…
Add "-pintarest" without quotes to your search.
