Sometimes time doesn't allow that for multiple communities simultaneously, but you are right. Still I think a lot of online communities are drowning in AI slob diluting the well thought about stuff that would deserve the attention.

The AI slop problem is real and getting worse. Half the "community engagement" you see now is LLM generated comments that add nothing. It actually makes genuine participation more valuable though, because people can tell the difference pretty quickly. The signal to noise ratio shift is probably the strongest argument for investing in real community presence over spray and pray posting.

They really cant.

But... Your comments are LLM generated. Wow.
