We grew up in a world before AI so we have a frame of reference to compare it to. Just think about the people born into this slopfilled landscape where the content their young minds absorb will overwhelmingly be AI generated. It will be the normalized default for them. There is going to be a much sharper generational divide than the internet savvy millennial vs tech illiterate boomer that we saw in the early 00s.

I know this is a pipedream, little more than expecting the kiddies to magically rise above their material conditions, but I hope that it actually results is a reaction against AI and that being born into a world of slop gives a significant portion of the coming generation some 6th sense to tell slop better than we can.
I'm hoping for some idealist fantasy because if not, gen alpha and their successors won't be disappointments, they'll be downright incapable of coherent thought. They'll let LLMs and other misapplied tools do their thinking for them in every aspect of life.

You mean read old books in the library right? There's AI books on the shelves now.
It was bad enough that someone Ayn Rand how to write a book, now they can just ask grok to write it for them

sucks my local library system has next to nothing good on the shelves. hard to browse. i can order nearly any book and have it at my branch in 48 hours though but it takes something away from the experience and makes it internet brained and impersonal again. oh well
at least one of the librarians has an undercut and dyed hair and seems cool AF (there's always at least one, even out in the sticks)

My local branch never has what I want, and since recent budget cuts it takes over a week now for them to deliver books from other branches.

Finding new music for me has transformed from gingerly plucking fresh berries from each bush in a tranquil grove to squatting in my shack, frantically waving my shotgun from window to window as unseen demon wolves howl outside.

remember a few years ago when the "youtube algorithm" would find cool new stuff for you to listen to? now i instinctively distrust any video that's been posted within the last two years, even if there's an "album name", "artist name" and "year". playlists without artist names are no-go zones. going to the account page to see if they upload more than one video per week. seeing how obvious "ai" videos get 100x more views than actual music
downvoting "ai" music has now led to youtube only serving me videos of DJs playing old vinyls, or videos i watched 8 years ago

it actually makes me feel like low intensity psychosis sometimes. i don't trust any short form video and can't even browse fashion ideas anymore because it's 99% AI gen
so yeah. hopefully this gets all of us off the internet eventually (lol). at least there's no incentive to slopify places like this because there's no $ to be made. instead we just get eventually targeted by the U.S. security Eye for shitposting in ways not acceptable to the groypers and christian nationalists that run it

I'm just going to let it go and assume everything is AI unless it is proven otherwise. So if you want me to believe anything you do is real, you gotta fuck it up a bit how an AI will never do. Use a sentence structure unheard of til now or something lol

Jk good job ignoring grammar. I believe you, you have been deemed not AI for this comment. Until AI reliably does shitty grammar in a totally human way, I will believe this
edit: realized this sounds harsh. I really do mean the 'good job' because it's a very human comment. No need to pay attention to the bullshit parts of grammar when you can be understood so well without them. I'll eat my boot if it was actually AI lol

i never ignore grammar, i just let the part of my brain that does english do whatever it wants. it's not a very well tuned part, fed on thin gruel and left to rot in the dark for most of my life, but it does have faint memories of the sky.

There's an easy herusitic that you can use: does this content help further the cause of the people? Does it help me get up and fight for socialism another day? If it does, great, if not throw it in the bin. The burgussy will use any and all means to hold us back from taking power. Including filling every data storage device on earth with slop and yet we must prevail.

Go for everything is IA and we are back to start of internet era for most web sites. I am thinking about doing a searchable web sites listes of non Ai sites and some collaborative stuff once it become too huge to manage. Maybe indexing them with searx.
