AI Ads are back again. Can we please stop with the slop?

[mzingalwa]

Title. I could have sworn the site-runners said they weren't gonna have AI slop ads any more.

AI slop adult website, truly the best possible ad.
But i think they tried to handwave the last time with being a one day experiment

 

[Varpie]

Seriously, an ad for an AI girlfriend is the worst possible type of ad, is the team's goal to compete with bottom-tier scanlation groups? Did they not realize it's a porn website? What's next, online casinos?

 

[MagnificentErgo]

Seriously, fuck AI slop.

 

[Harusame]

The Dex back to bag chasing with advertising AI porn bots.

 

[yogurtman250]

Honestly, i'm more concerned if they accepted this out of necessity, or out of greed...

came here to see if I was the only one. I coulda sworn they had a whole thing apologizing about how they should've screened their ads better and whatnot. It's not exactly very encouraging to see this slop that I'd expect from other aggregator sites here. Guess it might be coming close to time

 

[SprinKah]

yeah it aint great, not a good look

I guess that going with wholesome ads does not pay the bills.

 

[Angry_Panda]

Ad appears to be gone now.

 

[Mangamoz]

Ad appears to be gone now.

I can imagine whichever investor is in charge of the site going:

"FUCK!! I THOUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE FORGOTTEN BY NOW!!"

 

[BakedBanana]

Ad appears to be gone now.

Yep. Back to Dex-chan.

But for archival sake, here's what the AI ad did look like:

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

I hope this will result in some consequences.
I personally would like the one who is likely again responsible for that to get publicly flogged. 20 strikes. 3 sets.

 

[Mangamoz]

Are they gonna keep trying again every few months until we give in? Is that their planned strategy?

 

[KingZantair]

This is now the second time they've tried having an AI Girlfriend ad, only for it to get lambasted and pulled instantly. Hopefully two times are enough for them to learn.

I...I'm getting déjà vu!

They...
Didn't even change the banner?
Are the ones in charge this much the mental equivalent of a sessile filter feeding plant?

It's a little different. The AI girl in the middle is in a different stolen art style.

So... It was an entirely new, different attempt, not a fuckup during setting of the ad by accidentally selecting the old one in the database.
They got already whacked on their fingers hard the first time, then they tried it again.
