I'll say what Bluesky fails to address in v1.122 They've rolled out a new "adult content" tag applied on an entire account, hiding all their posts from users, including text posts, even if they may be SFW This update, while well-intentioned, defeats the whole purpose of the content filters system

Indeed, the only time I've found an LLM to be good at writing is when you are purposefully seeking something generic. Suppose you were writing a play and *needed* the most banal generic bureaucrat speech. ChatGPT would nail it. It'd wreck you like Stockfish against Kasparov.
