The "AI voice" is everywhere now. I see it on recent blog posts, on news articles, obituaries, YT channels. Sometimes mixed with voice impersonation of famous physicists like Feynman or Susskind. I find it genuinely soul-crushing and even depressing, but I may be over sensitive to it as most readers don't seem to notice.

Yes, I get more and more visceral reactions to it. I'm reminded of JPEG artifacts - unnoticeable in 1993!

  Yeah I started seeing it too, the article is just full of AI clues.

  Yeah the article smells extremely strongly of AI to me, but I've been told here before that that's just the register's house style, so I have no idea.

same. it is showing how many people are not trying to participate - just appear to. I want to read from and write for my peers, but it seems we are just awash with fakers

  The internet is a post-truth space now that you can spin up a million different agents to push whatever narrative you choose.

I find it extremely difficult to focus on any piece of writing the moment I see the patterns. Can’t tell if it’s an attitude problem I need to get over or if it’s just that all AI writing really is that bad.

Literally the worst thing that happened to the internet after addictive doomscroll feeds and ads everywhere. And, the worst part is noone will ever make a new internet because of the founder effect. We are basically in the worst timeline.

  Maybe. Another potential, more positive, timeline is that semantically ablated content filling everyone’s feeds turns people off, and slowly kills the social feed paradigm.
  - doomslayer999 8mo ago
    That is doubtful. Most of the content on people's feed was basically converging to the same paradigm anyways. Think the Mr. Beast "I gave someone 1 million dollars to try a potato" content.

It's almost disgusting to me tbh, for the first time I find it actually easy to unplug and go do offline things, whatever I want to explore online is hidden behind a forest of synth slop I can't even bother looking at anymore
