It’s been some time since I have been active on mainstream social media. Honestly I don’t even post here or lurk here, but quality of discussions is better here than reddit so I do occasionally log in.
Why I am asking this question is, whenever I am traveling now a days, I am seeing lesser people scrolling instagram reels. Earlier it was 7 out of every 10 person, it’s now becoming like 5 or 4. And on reddit it no longer feels like real people are talking there. Are you people observing the same too?
Yes it might not fit asklemmys guidelines, I just didn’t know better place to ask it
Yes. It’s the bots, see Gersham’s law 'bad comments drive out good comments.
Not just comments. Even lurkers.
You wanna lurk and read an exchange between bots? Other than the novelty, I don’t.
It was funny back when it was barely coherent gpt2 bots. It’s not funny anymore. I want off this ride.
Me too. :(
Reminds me of the AI-generated Seinfeld series that ran on Twitch for a couple weeks before it was banned for making fun of transphobes. It was fun as a novelty, and was also a good meta-commentary on the quality of sitcoms in general. But I never considered continually watching it for entertainment
