The "AI voice" is everywhere now.

I see it on recent blog posts, on news articles, obituaries, YT channels. Sometimes mixed with voice impersonation of famous physicists like Feynman or Susskind.

I find it genuinely soul-crushing and even depressing, but I may be over sensitive to it as most readers don't seem to notice.

Maybe I'm going crazy but I can smell it in the OP as well.

[logicprog]

Yeah the article smells extremely strongly of AI to me, but I've been told here before that that's just the register's house style, so I have no idea.

Yeah I started seeing it too, the article is just full of AI clues.

Yes, I get more and more visceral reactions to it. I'm reminded of JPEG artifacts - unnoticeable in 1993!

Literally the worst thing that happened to the internet after addictive doomscroll feeds and ads everywhere.

And, the worst part is noone will ever make a new internet because of the founder effect. We are basically in the worst timeline.

[samdjstephens]

Maybe. Another potential, more positive, timeline is that semantically ablated content filling everyone’s feeds turns people off, and slowly kills the social feed paradigm.

[doomslayer999]

That is doubtful. Most of the content on people's feed was basically converging to the same paradigm anyways. Think the Mr. Beast "I gave someone 1 million dollars to try a potato" content.

I find it extremely difficult to focus on any piece of writing the moment I see the patterns. Can’t tell if it’s an attitude problem I need to get over or if it’s just that all AI writing really is that bad.

I just close the tab. My reading backlog is too long as it is.

Harder when it's an email from the CEO

[vpribish]

same. it is showing how many people are not trying to participate - just appear to. I want to read from and write for my peers, but it seems we are just awash with fakers

The internet is a post-truth space now that you can spin up a million different agents to push whatever narrative you choose.

It's almost disgusting to me tbh, for the first time I find it actually easy to unplug and go do offline things, whatever I want to explore online is hidden behind a forest of synth slop I can't even bother looking at anymore
