In a slow way the internet nay sayers are right. AI slop is only part of it. Plenty of humans are also making easily consumed content gruel chasing the algorithm.
I really don’t like people’s nostalgia for the old web. Like try creating your own enclaves sure but realise it was always a voluntary thankless effort. What little we still got is amazing considering how many people sink hundreds of thousands of hours into YouTube slop or league of legends or whatever. Or how hard it is to self host with everybody trying to harass or scam webmasters.
Very true, the millions of shallow algorithmic listicle blogs regurgitating top google results, marketing nonsense, and other listicles, predated the availability of genAI. GenAI has just massively accelerated the internet down this path.
GenAI is a listical eight ball
@Magic8Ball@hexbear.net is this true
My sources say no
