    AI has also completely destroyed the quality of search engines. The internet is starting to become totally useless as anything but an SEO clickbait advertising mill.

    It’s fucking heartbreaking. Like watching a library be converted into a billboard for cigarettes.

      Any media that allows regular people to publish with a reasonably low barrier to entry is just doomed to be completely overwhelmed with spam and shit
