Happy Thanksgiving to all our members on behalf of the staff here at SEN.
We hope you all have a safe and wonderful binge in celebration of the harvest.



With the Internet being flooded with bots and generated spam, search engines are getting steadily worse, and the overall quality of content is declining. To represent this trend, I think it's most appropriate to make this Thanksgiving post worse than the prior years. There are a few options of how to do so:


Option 1: Get political

Being an election year, an easy way to make a bad post would be to just reference the election. However, doing so would be a bit redundant, since we already have many bad posts on this topic located in a more appropriate subforum, and I wouldn't want to take the spotlight away from my past self nor my fellow community members. Therefore, I'm ruling this option out.


Option 2: Have AI create the Thanksgiving post

This was actually suggested by the community, and it seems like a good idea on the surface. With ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion becoming more and more sophisticated, all I need to do is write a quick little prompt and they'll take care of it for me.

First up is ChatGPT:



I suppose AI has advanced far enough to hurt my feelings, at least. But as long as Stable Diffusion can give me a decent enough turkey drawing, I think I can make this work...



And now I'm going to have trouble sleeping tonight. No, I don't think this is the type of content I want representing the front page of our community: AI is not the solution.


Option 3: Don't post at all

By not making a Thanksgiving post at all, I will perhaps let down some of the community, but it perfectly encapsulates my message on the decline of the Internet. This is by far the easiest option, and ultimately the option I'm choosing to do.

... Fuck.

Yes. Best price/performance, but weakest top model and not quite as mature drivers
