"My #AlfredArt hashtag isn't updating. What gives?"

@Alfred is a popular guy, and that meant that his #AI-generated art was making the Community Firehose very difficult to use. To address this, a tweak was made to make his artful responses an UNLISTED reply to the requestor.

You can still see the entire collection of #AlfredArt by visiting the @Alfred profile and clicking on the "Media" button. #CoSoTips

^^ To put this another way, @Alfred can't read your posts beyond the inquiries that you send to him.

He also has the long-term memory retention of a goldfish.

We could make him less ephemeral, but that would be counter to what this place is all about. #CoSoTips

CounterSocial's #AI features have been created with your privacy and safety in mind.

Smart as he seems, @Alfred doesn't know you. He can't summarize or extract patterns from your posts. He can read inquiries made of him in an ephemeral (short term) manner, and only to the extent necessary to generate a response. #CoSoTips

Note: You can skip the brackets and phrase your request as a normal sentence. It just has to contain those parts. #AlfredArt #CoSoTips

"Why isn't Alfred making my image!?"

See @status. #CoSoTips

If Alfred isn't answering you, there's two possibilities:

1. He's busy, and you should try again later.
2. You didn't properly structure your request.

Note: Alfred always gets a lot of attention when he's upgraded. If he isn't responding to your request, try again later. #CoSoTips

To ask Alfred to generate #AI art, your post should include specific keywords and mention Alfred first:

@Alfred [PART 1] [PART 2] [your desired prompt].

Part 1: Draw, create, make, generate, or build.
Part 2: Image, illustration, drawing, photograph, photo, picture, pic, art, painting, logo, portrait, or landscape.

Would you rather NOT see that crazy .gif that someone just posted?

Alfred is getting a major upgrade today, which means that his availability will be intermittent.

Please be patient. If your inquiry isn't working, try again later. #CoSoTips

Are you getting inundated by Alfred's #AlfredArt requests? You have two simple solutions:

1. BLOCK or MUTE the @Alfred account.
2. Add "#AlfredArt" to your FILTERS.

The first option is likely better, as you can still use the hashtag to see what he's created, if you'd like.
