    You haven’t broken any laws, or rules. If I don’t like what you post I don’t have to look at it, so you are under no obligation to me, a stranger on the internet. The problem I had was not about you, just the trend. There are a lot of sites like the one you get your jokes from, that spit out AI generated content, known as slop. There are not many people who actually do this, but because it’s so easy to scrape content, they can create huge amounts quickly. Like many people, I have published work that I put a lot of effort into, on the internet. And now an AI company has sucked it up and it is being spread around as slop, a worse version of what I created. And they are burning down the planet to do this, by building gas fired power plants for their hyperscale data centers. This is what you are supporting by spreading slop around the internet. It’s not illegal. You broke no rules. It’s immoral.

      Are you new to the Internet? Joke sites exactly like this have been here from the start. So has scraping. Joke books don’t give credit for puns.

      I’m not sure something can be called a “trend” when it’s been happening for 2500 years
