Everywhere you go it's all AI I hate it so much.

On Reddit it's all bots reposting stuff from years ago and its all the same unfunny shit. Also it's not like it's a repost once and do it again years later I'll sometimes see the same posts get reposted weekly.

These reposts are all on the top page page to wanna know why? Because AI is upvoting it and commenting on it. It's all one massive AI circle jerk.

I'll check the comments and it's AI arguing with AI or worse people arguing with AI or it's people using an AI to check if the post is a reposting fuck offfffffff.

On YouTube it's either a full AI script with an AI voice or a real people reading off some bullshit script that I'm convinced was written by AI.

"Why [insert topic] was/is so popular" "Why [insert topic] failed/is failing"

You'll go into the comments of these videos and it's all fucking AI istg I'm about to crash out writing this rant it pisses me off so much.

Maybe it isn't AI but it feels like it and I hate it! I've been marking these videos as "not interested" but YouTubes dumbass AI algorithm can't take a hint because 20 more similar videos will start getting recommended it's like cockroaches.

Even the YouTube ads are just AI gooner bait bullshit my little sister unwillingly sees that shit daily when all she wants to do is watch a drawing tutorial or a cartoon.

I don't use TikTok or Instagram and the rest of the slop there is like Twitter but I just know those places are the garbage dump of the internet. More than half the accounts are just AI, basically my Reddit rant but amplified 10x I won't go further into those websites.

If I Google or even DuckDuckGo something the first result is fucking an AI answer and sometimes it'll link me to an article or video made by a fucking AI usually trying to sell me something instead of giving me what I'm looking for.

I run a website and even there in my fucking comments an AI is advertising.

I'll open up Apple music and I don't even know if the music it recommends me is made my an AI.

On amazon there are AI books being sold and they aren't even trying to hide it and I mean real books not audio book but real you can hold it in your hand books who is the idiot buying that shit because someone obviously is since they keep making them?????

Even video games aren't safe the fucking Playstation store is full of AI slop games. Same question whose buying this shit?

Don't get me started on students. I'm being hypocritical because if ChatGPT was around when I was in school I would've done the same but that doesn't change the fact AI is making the modern student dumber. Most of them who use AI aren't learning anything they just have AI spit out inaccurate information. Even if the student isn't making the AI write there paper for them but actually tries using it as a tool to help them with their education it still spits out inaccurate information and how is the student even suppose to know if it's accurate or not since they are currently learning about the topic. I feel bad for teachers having to rot their brains away reading AI slop.

It's literally everywhere you can't escape it and it's not even useful, it's harmful and it's probably slowing down the internet for all of us.

AI is one of the biggest inefficiencies in human history I'm convinced I have no proof but it doesn't take a genius to see that. People are in coal mines ruining themselves so some fucking porn bot can comment OF advertisement. AI isn't only taking needed resources from the poorest people but from all of us. Except the people who can afford it.

I can't wait for AI to fuck off and die so we can start progressing again. Seriously humans made one of the most impressive pieces of code ever written and it resulted in the pollution of the internet. The biggest source of information polluted with harmful useless garbage. Humans managed to pollute something that doesn't even exist in the real world.

I work at a tiny little "MSP" (computer guys for companies who are too cheap or dumb to hire their own tech people) and I'm down to the only human being who doesn't use AI. 3 people surrounding me on this boat, all drilling holes in it while I'm trying (and failing) to patch the holes. We're sinking fast.

They just signed us up for an over $1,000 per month cost for a new EDR system that our clients won't pay for and we can't run.
Fuck it. I'm full Carlin. I no longer consider myself a part of the human race. I'm something different, sitting here watching the fall of civilization from the front row.

I'm into electronics repair and I'm creating a tips and trick list for most of the electronics that come into repair shops based off real information.

I plan to include everything I can for every scenario because when I need to fix something niche without a lot of information about it I'll be fucked when I Google the issue and the top results are all AI guides or I'll ask on Reddit and AI comments how to fix it. (I know the Reddit example isn't a thing yet I hope but who knows.)

I recommend whenever you fix a niche unique problem just quickly write down how you did it so that information isn't forgotten it's really helpful and saves time.

Yeah hang onto that, someday you and I and OP will be contributing to a federated repairWiki of some kind.

federated repairWiki

Doo eeet

I just might create a forum for general electronic repair ranging from generic OS virus cleaning to hard repairs like micro soldering and everything inbetween.

If that ever happens I'll send you money for a beer.
