Comment on The internet kind of sucks right now
skisnow@lemmy.ca 1 day agoSure but (and this goes to the other person who replied with much the same thing) there’s an order of magnitude of difference going on there, plus usually when someone says something wrong on a forum others usually show up to correct them.
AI responses have so far been very clearly a step down in reliability, so don’t be treating it as a binary.

Depends on the forum, plenty of echo chambers out there…

A lot of the forums I’m seeing talked about where more technical or objective kinds. Like in a car forum there’d be repair manuals or parts lists, fountain pen forums would have loads of images comparing inks side by side for different shades and hues. Those are the sorts of knowledge centers being discussed and reminisced about a lot here.

Yeah, survivorship bias, we only remember the good ones, but there were plenty of shitpools out there.
