Lmk I’ve been seeing so many people speak about this on TikTok, just curious about how real humans feel about it.

I was on Reddit a few years back,and had great engagement of topics from the get go. Unfortunately that isn’t the case anymore,stuff like “name blaablaablaa,name “cat or dog” the last thing you ate,basically the last shear effort of me has given up on being civil. How fucking stupid has this place gotten. From cursive writing to cooking bs have gotten ridiculous,or they just needing attention.A lot of these post scream attention seeking,but if you call them out,don’t get me started on the monitor,or sensitive ass people. Fuck this place.

Super often my YouTube recommendations page will have channels with AI generated thumbnails and AI generated titles with super low view counts, around 2-30. Are they literally forcing these into the algorhythm? They're recommended with abysmally low views just because they're fully AI?

It's literally making me so anxious when I watch it

Sometimes it would be a time traveler claiming they are doing something wrong in this timeline I am trapped here and the people in comments saying yes believe you

Sometimes it would be someone saying this is going to happen in future be careful like alot of conspiracy stuff

Alot of religious stuff like reincarnation money and all that don't chase this don't chase that. Heaven hell like alot man

I know i should not watch those videos but I just gets anxious when I just watch a few seconds and then i Just can't exit the video

Like idk bro is algorithm just manipulating me or sum

It’s been real everyone. Remember to save the last unsub for yourselves

People love to freak out that the web is dying because it’s being overrun by AI bots pretending to be human. The real twist? The internet is dead because humans have spent the last decade turning themselves into bots.

​Think about how people behave online now. Because of algorithms, we have voluntarily trained our brains to maximize engagement metrics. We use the exact same corporate slang, repeat identical comment-section copy-pastas, react with the same curated emojis, and format our thoughts into predictable, algorithmic-friendly hooks.

​AI didn't ruin the internet by faking human behavior; it just easily copied us because human online culture became a predictable, repetitive script. We mechanized our own communication long before LLMs showed up.

So many things are posted that are blatantly obvious even without background knowledge.

My only conclusion is AI is trying to understand humour and information gather.

The remaining 1% are Political spam and Karma farmers.

Meta suspended my own artist page for "impersonating a public figure." I am the public figure. This is my own verified page. They even have a picture of my license. It's been suspended since April 11th. Not a temporary glitch, not a day, but over two months now. I've spent days going back and forth with support. Different agents told me different things every single time. First it was "temporary, don't worry." Then, out of nowhere, "permanent," no explanation. When I finally asked what I actually violated, I was told they "can't tell me due to privacy concerns." It's my own account. Their AI made the call and no human can or will explain it. No way to post ads. No way to post. No way to reach the audience I built, for months, over a violation that doesn't exist. This is it for me. I'm done with Facebook and Instagram. If a platform can lock an artist out of their own identity and refuse to explain why, it doesn't deserve my time, my audience, or my ad budget.
