How to keep the hornets away:
About unsavory AI content
They seem to be large flies, but, they are dangerous.

On my Medium intake link I get a letter from someone with a sultry-mod AI portrait that infers sexiness at least if not porn.
She wants to be my follower. She wants me to follow her.
I search for her “by-line.” It is as vague as is her info on the link “about” on Medium.
Some days I don’t like Medium at all. Why does my regular subscription include racy looking women looking sultry? Do I attract such stuff, or is someone just trying to sign me up?
What do I want from Medium? I want an intelligent reflection of real life without resorting to spectacle. I want it to be serious: not sexy.
Medium has been a blessing in so many ways.
Like the face of the earth, it contains all sorts of miraculous truths, and also a lot of weeds.
I love the wild earth. But I like to be selective about what I plant. It is such a sweaty job yanking out the weeds. Poison Ivy: it rubs off on a person and makes them suffer.
Maybe I need to describe myself as a sort of snob? I’m not a fan of sensationalism or shady drugs. I really hope to be selective about what I ingest, both into my digestive system, but also into my brain.
At 86, my brain is really tired of smut, and “glam”, and “pop culture.” What a waste of brain power. Unless a person is dominated by an insatiable lust for physical body thrills, surely they should be able to steer around such matter in their intellectual intake.
Anyone else? How can I self-describe in a way that will screen out the rubbish? Shall I call myself a prude? Not a prude here. Just wanting to spend my minutes on something healthful and enriching.
SGH
