No, it relies on user tagging when creating a post, so sadly only works for posts made by PieFed users for now:
I think using an algorithm would be treacherous territory bc there would be guaranteed false positives.

Like, if you’re sitting in front of a computer as part of your job, you’re using LLMs. And if you aren’t, you’re probably using them indirectly and don’t even know it.
This is a gross generalisation. If you don’t use Google (or use a search operator to go straight to its Web results), and disable Copilot in Windows/Office, that takes care of the most annoying instances of corporations pushing LLMs on you. In my experience, in more specialised software AI features tend to be opt-in rather than opt-out.

PieFed has an option for blocking AI-generated posts

yeah, I’ve since seen the suggestion for enforced tagging in the top comment, and I agree that it could be a good solution for allowing users to decide for themselves if they want to engage

Yes please. It’s dispiriting to regularly go through the cycle of seeing an interesting project pop up here, oh wait it’s vibe-coded crap, nevermind…

on Tens of millions of Russians have been forced to install a new app called Max on their phones in c/technology@lemmy.world · 6d ago
Not sure if they changed the original title or it was editorialised by OP, but the current article title is much better at highlighting the problem:
Revealed: how Russia uses mobile ‘super-app’ Max to spy on its citizens
Research shows tens of millions of people are being forced to use platform that amounts to ‘backdoor’ on their device

fuck I haven’t heard of this, I wish he stayed off. I only think of him when I have to tick that childish pineapple checkbox on wordpress.org. I would be much more reassured if Wordpress was in a mature adult’s hands.

on 📌 Pinterest used ~500 Million ROWS of user pins to train it's AI! in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 8 Sep 2026
And yeah, when you give a company license to do whatever they want with your data, “whatever they want” includes AI.
I think an important point is that with the decline of Pinterest’s popularity, most of their data was probably acquired many years before genAI became mainstream. (Like I think I only used it around 2008-2010.) So most users probably never imagined their data could be used for training like this in the future.

Not enforced by my work, but Photoshop is honestly the least painful to replace. I’m having a lot more trouble finding fully featured alternative to InDesign and Illustrator. Scribus looks pretty rough and Inkscape has an unintuitive UI and no proper CMYK support.

Need Adobe software for work. Want to play online games that have anti-cheat. Also like to run mods in my games.
I have a shitty old laptop for travelling that I’ll try to install Linux on this weekend, since I only need Firefox on that.

on Db admin, cloud admin, printers, more for $110k. in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 19 Aug 2026
I saw similar when looking for work as a graphic designer, with duties that can be summarised as “design our printed materials, build our website (with JavaScript knowledge required), and also plan our marketing strategy”.
Then when I mentioned this in a Clients from Hell comment section, I got someone defend the practice with that small companies can’t afford to hire separate people for the 3 separate skillsets…
Yeah, I noticed similar too. I’ve been using a game mod for many years that is in active development, and its devs switched to very AI-heavy development earlier this year. They now add new features with lightning speed, but they are noticeably buggier and unreliable.
