  AI has been training on its own data for a while now? Might need to touch grass on the doomism :P

    I’m going to play devil’s advocate and say it’s not like there’s a big switch that is going to switch us from the barely decent Internet we’ve had to a complete shit show.

    The time to talk about looming disaster is before it’s too late to do anything.

    However, from my point of view, the Internet has been steadily turning to garbage for a long time. We’ve reached the point where it’s starting to take human society down with it. LLMs are just the latest turd in the pile of shit.

    Of course, my point of view is from someone who’s been online since the early 90’s. It’s more a “get off my lawn” attitude. Some of the younger whippersnappers might not realize how far it had fallen by the time they got online.

    It isn’t LLMs destroying it, it’s capitalism. LLMs and the hype surrounding them are just the latest symptom.

      The only people using it 30+ years ago were students, academia, and the government. That fact might skew your perspective on it a little since you weren’t having conversations with anyone under 18 or anyone who didn’t understand how to properly use a computer or afford one back then for that matter. The internet really went to shit when smartphones really took off around 2010 because it allowed every dipshit access to it easily, everywhere, all the time. Generative AI is going to make it all more stupid.

      The more the general population uses it to communicate with each other the more it reflects all of the negative parts of society that are based on ignorance and lack of empathy. Sadly, the majority of people need others to exist in the same space to even have a chance of considering them to be people. We already know how often that doesn’t happen even in person…

  Hot take: killing the internet is a good thing. Once the internet is dead, we go back to physical media and physical interactions. We become free.

    I wouldn’t mind that. I would rather accept some inconvenience to have more social interaction.
