@ploum@mamot.fr It's insane how bad it's gotten over the course of the last few months. You also see a huge amount of accounts that are very obviously run by AI agents in almost every thread, often drowning out any real discussion.
I've almost completely abandoned ship for lobste.rs, which suffers from the same tedious AI discussion being rehashed ad nauseum, but you can at least filter it out, and the participants still seem mostly like human beings.

@ploum@mamot.fr Biggest victim so far of AI is arguably online discussion, especially programming discussion. It's a real double whammy where on the one hand you have the bots butting in with non-sequitur insights, but it seems like anyone who drinks the AI Kool-Aid completely loses the ability to have interesting ideas or build interesting projects, likely because those things come as a result of the work that the LLM is now doing. I've said it before, but AI above anything else makes you boring.
