Maybe this was a blessing in disguise, but the amount of low quality AI generated content and CONSTANT advertising on social media has made me totally lose interest. When I got on social media I don't even look at the post first, but at the comments to see if anyone mentions something being made with AI or an ad for an AI tool. And now the comments seem written by AI too. It's so off putting that I have stopped using all social media in the last few months except for YouTube.
I'm about to pull the plug on Reddit too, I'm usually on business and work subreddits so the AI advertising and writing is particularly egregious. I've been using ChatGPT since it's creation instead of Google for searching or problem solving now so I can tell immediately when something is written by AI. It's incredibly useful for my own utility but seeing its content generated everywhere is destroying the community feel aspect of the internet for me. It's especially sad since I've been terminally online for 20+ years now and this really feels like the death knell of my favorite invention of all time. Anyone else checked out?
