Comment on Digg’s open beta shuts down after just two months, blaming AI bot spam

It was basically exactly Reddit but with two noticeable AI features that were easy to ignore:

  1. An AI-generated summary of popular posts on the homepage
  2. Underneath every link post to an article was an AI summary, but on the app it was a collapsible section so collapsing it in one post would keep it collapsed for all.

I found the second one slightly handy, though, because when I was on Reddit I fell into the bad habit of posting after just reading headlines. With the AI summaries I could get more context and it often lead me to opening more articles than I would have without it.
