  this would-be Reddit competitor, built for the AI era

  Oh no…

  The founders think that the internet is being flooded with bots and AI agents, which will create demand for online communities like Digg that foster real human connections.

  Okay, Digg has my attention again.

  Beneath posts, Digg is leveraging AI to summarize the article’s content.

  And they lost me again.

    AI. BOTS. MILLENIAL INFANTILE DESIGN. CORPORATE SPEAK.

    Gee, I wonder why people aren’t tripping over themselves to join this.

    Because if there’s anything a link aggregator needs, it’s MORE reasons for people to not read linked articles! Will they also add AI responses? That way users wouldn’t need to bother with reading OR writing!

    What’s wrong with AI summaries? AI has it’s uses. A long as it’s just adding some metadata I don’t see nothing wrong with it.

    For me the big questions is what are they going to do to stop bots, spam and internet points farming. So far they didn’t reveal any plans.

      What’s wrong with AI summaries?

      It never stops there though, they never just write their summary and leave it alone they always have to have the AI do more and more until it eventually takes over the entire platform.

    Idk, its less subjective than the top comment summaries on reddit from users Image

    • LWD@lemm.ee ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I see no reason to engage with, or trust anything created by, a bullshit generator. If Digg claims to “care” about the humans, then making the top comment into a brick wall (which has zero accountability) is a funny way of showing it.

      But then again, I’m sure their privacy policy also says they care about your privacy.

      Is there some reason we want brands to join the conversation?

  Oh look, another centralized social media platform that will eventually get enshittified

  source

  • zecg@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    This one is different, it starts enshittified and enshittifies further

    source
  • Zachariah@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I’m looking forward to the “Here’s your first look at the rebooted Reddit” articles in 7 years.

  Maybe if they allow API access for alternative frontends that eliminate ads and block telemetry. Otherwise, not interested.
