is it me, or do they kind of show up a spam everyday? If you read one, it looks like AI generated and while I support artists and the struggle of writing. If I never saw him post again I'd be OK with it?

You can block Mat. That's what I did. It doesn't cut out all the stories but it removes the majority of them.
I think that Pixy has the right idea. If you don't like his posts, don't read them and don't vote them down. Personally, I like his stories (for the most part), and I know that he usually does not use AI for either story generation or illustrations. If he does, he usually tells you.
But, if you don't like short, short stories, don't read them!
Really? Works well for me. The only story of theirs that I see, is when it pops up on 'The Random story from the archives', but Laz explained the reason for that years ago (It's because of the mechanics of RSFTA) and since it's only occasionally (That they pop up), it's not an issue.

The way things are changing, he might just be ahead of his time ;-)

My wife was working with a firm for monitoring her blood pressure and reporting the results to her doctor. She would talk with them frequently to discuss the results and what they meant.
Earlier today, she discovered that the "person" on the other end on her conversation was a computer running a tailored AI program.
The use of AI programs needs to be regulated. The use of an AI program to generate medical advice is inappropriate.

Agree.
There is some precedent for holding companies liable for information given by their AI bots:

mostly everything is AI done these days on here and elsewhere.
Not a lick of AI in the 14,000,000 words I've written. Won't ever use it for writing.
Aside from the possibly-AI Mat Twassel stories, can you give us some examples of AI-written stories posted here on SOL?

Of the approximately 1800 stories I've posted to SoL, only two or three of them contain AI text, and in those cases the AI was used to create only a portion of the story. As an example, in "Give the Girl a Hand," I used AI to create the advertisement which forms the first part of the story. I think AI did a pretty good job with the ad.
I sometimes use AI to create backgrounds images for my illustrations. Usually I've noted any AI contribution.
In Mat's illustration for my Quaileggy Bananagram sentence, there's a very clever AI-generated text backdrop about the auction. It's probably more worth reading than my one-sentence story :-)
AJ
Understood. I'd still like to hear from Bandeau rouge examples for his claim that "most" material on SOL is AI – generated.

I've read a couple of them, and while not my cup of tea (generally don't care for flash), they seemed original enough.
