Generative AI has really become a poison. It’ll be worse once the generative AI is trained on its own output.
Here’s my prediction. Over the next couple decades the internet is going to be so saturated with fake shit and fake people, it’ll become impossible to use effectively, like cable television. After this happens for a while, someone is going to create a fast private internet, like a whole new protocol, and it’s going to require ID verification (fortunately automated by AI) to use. Your name, age, and country and state are all public to everybody else and embedded into the protocol.
The new ‘humans only’ internet will be the new streaming and eventually it’ll take over the web (until they eventually figure out how to ruin that too). In the meantime, they’ll continue to exploit the infested hellscape internet because everybody’s grandma and grampa are still on it.
You don’t get to blame AI for this. Reddit was already overrun by corporate and US gov trolls long before AI.
Correction - AI is poisoning everything when it is not regulated and moderated.
Reddit has been poisoning itself for a while, what’s the difference? Just AI borrowing from the shithead behavior?
I just consider any comment after Jun 2023 to be compromised. Anyone who stayed after that date either doesn’t have a clue, or is sponsored content.
yeah, the internet is doomed to be unusable if AI just keeps getting more insidious like this
yet more companies tie themselves to online platforns, websites, and other models of operation depending on being always connected.
maybe the world needs a reboot, just get rid of it all and start from scratch

That would destroy all the old good vintage stuff and leave us with machines that immediately fill the vacant space with pure trash.
rapture but with technology would be pretty funny
save the good old stuff and burn the rest
When the internet is eventually oversaturated with smartbots, where will the humans go.
To a new social media platform where you have to send in a DNA sample to create an account.
That creates a market for morticians and midwifes creating preauthenticated accounts to sell to bot farms
Peer-to-peer systems? Systems where you have to do physically be at the location to get data maybe, so cyber cafe like things. Or back to the old system and go to the regular bars, repair cafés or hobby places.

The usefulness of Captchas is being destroyed by “AI” too. And ironically they were used to train certain types of Machine Learning.

Group chats.
“The Matrix”, obviously.
Synchronous spaces.
Social VR does not have a lot of the ills of social media. You only have to deal with people much like you would IRL.
“i remember when reply guy was a term used for someone notorious for replying to things in a specific manner”
“take your meds grandpa, it’s getting late”
When googling something, append -site:reddit.com
Logitech decided to include some AI shit in Logi Options+, I uninstalled that crap ASAP.
Yeah this isn’t new.
Ever wonder why you are such a fan of shitty played out franchises?
I was about ready to downvote out of pure annoyance lol.
I appreciate the mostly benign neglect we had for awhile. Now that they’re paying attention it’s just all bad. Or would be, if I was there. HA.
This shit isnt new, companies have been exploiting reddit to push products as if they’re real people for years. The “put reddit after your search to fix it!!!” thing was a massive boon for these shady advertisers who no doubt benefitted from random people assuming product placements were genuine.
