Bluesky AI tool Attie faces user backlash

Bluesky's new AI assistant, Attie, designed to let users create custom social media algorithms and feeds, has been met with significant user resistance. Approximately 125,000 users have already blocked the Attie account, making it the second most blocked on the platform, surpassing even the White House. This strong negative reaction stems from Bluesky's user base, which generally opposes AI integration, viewing it as a betrayal and a surrender to the inevitable encroachment of AI into all aspects of life. Many users feel the platform should prioritize basic features like direct messaging image support over AI development.
