Face reality my friend, Internet is now hostile to humans. Time to leave this place for good.

Yes and then we refuge in the physical meat space until the robots would be indistiguishing from humans. Sounds like a movie plot, or is Bladerunner all over.

At least the internet is not one single place, and while I can't speak for anyone I think I've managed to avoid most of the AI generated internet.

  Even the human generated content is written by humans increasingly influenced by AI generated content

  How? I'm genuinely interested.

  > I think I've managed to avoid most of the AI generated internet. I honestly am not sure that one can know that that is true anymore. Probably the only place left that I have any confidence in is maybe the small discords I'm in with various friend groups with <30 people that all know each other IRL.

  Where are you going? Reddit has a lot of AI generated stuff Youtube comments are even worse. Twitter seems 99% AI garbage I think I need to find old school forums to discuss things.

  How do you know? You can easily create AI generated text that is impossible to identify as such.

    Can't speak of the grandparent, but I'm in some small communities with people that I met IRL at some point, and I know them well enough to know that they would not do that.

  To the bar or whatever physical activity you may like as long as you can talk to flesh and blood human beings.

I was reflecting the other day how discovering things online felt like being in on a secret. You had to just know about a chat room or BBS or website. Each one was like discovering a secret. Now it's the opposite, anything special posted online will quickly get overrun. It's the parties and places not posted about online that feel like you're discovering hidden gems.

  There are exceptions, e.g. lobste.rs has an invitation tree. When someone starts posting LLM-generated comments, that part of the tree can get yanked. Also, it builds up a community gradually, because you need to be invited by someone. Since the invitation tree is visible, people will generally only vouch on people they trust, because an invitee that violates the rules will reflect bad on the inviter (and might get removed if they do that too often).
