imagine ruining reddit

Yeah, I've noticed an uptic of AI generated content being posted outside the AI circle jerk subreddits. Places like the AoE4 and Bionicle subreddits have had quite a number of AI posts already.

Theyve become too courageous, with others going out of the way to defend the use of generative AI with weak arguments like "but cars also steal jobs".

The one subreddit that I've seen have a healthy response against AI generated content is the Bionicle subreddit. Doesn't really surprise me as the Bionicle community is full of creatives.

Good...GOOD

I regret wasting all those years trying to fight back all the bots I flagged on that hot garbage platform.

But I'm grateful that I gained skills on how to identify an LLM bot from a mile away.

Now that they're starting to creep in Lemmy, I'm prepared.

I used to have a reddit account and truly enjoyed it - but I quit when it became obvious that most of the site is simply run by bots that aim to stir the pot and divide people. I still read various reddit posts - but there is no longer any real knowledge to be gained. Mostly, I now just experience frustration, mistrust, and disappointment.

Is? It's done already. But the bots got there years ago, so who really cares about now.

Here's the thing though, Reddit provided a lot of AI training data. Now AI content is ruining Reddit. This is like a large corporation making millions off cider and then destroying the orchard.

reddit was ruined by reddit

it's just evidence that the site went the way of social media and is saturated with people who circulate such things

lmfao no, corporate greed and "shareholder value" is ruining both AI and reddit (and pretty much everything else) for everyone.

Let’s be real…Reddit itself is moderated by AI.

People who moderate subs should be called “hall monitors” or something. It’s rare to find moderators who are actually moderating with impartiality, rather that being petty and taking sides. They also have tools to exploit the Reddit auto-mod system.

It was enshitified ages ago. 

I went on reddit yesterday just for a minute. Saw a post about some guy asking what he could do with a small hallway like space in his house (imagine a small walk in closet without the door). Almost every response I opened up was an AI generated image. That thread alone probably wasted a small swimming pool of water just cause some people couldn't be arsed to copy and paste a server rack.

Nope, can't ruin it for me because I have left this cursed place.

Yeah right I remember the good old wholesome days of jailbait.

Reddit is now Facebook 2.0.

Reddit has been ruined for a while now, this is just it getting worse.

It’s ruining everthing it touches. Reddit is far from the only victim of that garbage.

I hate that now there's even automated profiles managed by AIs which basically ragebait constantly on normal subreddits. And im not even talking about large ones. Heck this must be the worst psyop ever made in recent history

Did spez change his name to AI?

I'm amazed that anybody could even be surprised at this end result. We truly live with some moronic apes on this earth.

I like to amuse myself on reddit. If my comment is getting downvoted I might delete it and repost it. Then it usually gets upvoted. It just shows the groupthink on reddit where you get "Oh, this got down/up voted, guess I'll do it too."

When the admins started getting marching order to squash any and all talks of making the rich accountable for their crimes against humanity, it was ruined. Even hint at an uprising and you get banned.

Everyone? Lol. Was this written by an idiot that still uses Reddit as their main outlet?
