  • Yes and no. The more you want to block it, the more technically involved it becomes.

    High level, yes, if you scope it to a specific problem domain. Want to focus on YouTube videos and channels, with report functionality plus custom blocklists? Sure, that would be doable as something like a browser extension.

    As soon as you add reporting, consider that idiots report bad stuff and stuff they don’t like just because, and people abuse it. You end up needing to moderate blocklists and users that can report.

    If you want to go to the image level, yes but as an extension you are probably checking the hash of every single fucking image and have some sort of hash prefix map or bloom filter to match against, like Google safe browsing. This becomes a pain and the thing about AI is they generate new shit constantly. And they evade hash checks by cropping on purpose, avoid dupe detection on social media by doing that plus ocr checks.

    Ever notice a word gets a letter bleeped out and people are like why did they censor that? Sometimes it’s due to ocr for dupe.image detection and they defeat it by changing the text. They also defeat your basic hash checks by flipping any pixels.

    This problem of “how do I curate stuff so I only see what I like” can be a really hard problem and people are constantly trying to defeat it to make bots with high stats to use for ads.

    I would figure out specifically what is frustrating you and solving the problem in a narrow space like YouTube channels, curators. Or GitHub users, repos using AI, etc. Solve a specific problem and do it well. if it’s specific enough you can come up with good ways of doing it that solve it really well, and other people might appreciate it. Then it can become a part of an anti AI suite rather than just doing everything but badly.

    Also most of the issue is that people are lazy as fuck and a lot of cat owners just aren’t cleaning their house as much as they should, but most importantly, scooping the litter box.

    Every single night before bed I scoop my cats litter box, add fresh litter, and sweep around it. Every other weekend I mop around it, and try to vacuum up cat hair off surfaces she sits on.

    There are people that change their bed sheets every week or two, and people who give you a blank stare when you ask them when they last changed their sheets, like they didn’t realize that was a thing you should do. The latter is like half of humanity, and some of them own cats and let them shit in the same box for weeks without emptying it.
