Why is so much of the internet terrible now fml

Cory Doctorow can explain it to you. He coined a term for it which has now become widespread, "enshittification." And it's all about money.

[Deep breath in.........]

Wealthy men that are perpetually insecure in life because their fathers didn't show them any outward affection when they were children are blindly and joylessly driven to increase a bank balance that they couldn't meaningfully decrease in a thousand lifetimes in the hope that it will make their fathers ghosts smile and pat them on the head (ghosts who don't even put out the effort to haunt their children anyways)

I'm dizzy, what just happened?

When's the last time you donated to Lemmy.world?

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

We’re all donating our time and attention to Lemmy, which is worth something even on a non-commercial site.

But yes, some of us also help with the costs and chores. I appreciate everyone who does but I also appreciate everyone who makes this an interesting place worth chipping in for

I asked chatgpt & it said this: " The internet can feel overwhelming or negative at times due to various factors like misinformation, toxicity in online communities, and the sheer volume of content. It's important to curate your online experience by choosing reliable sources and engaging in positive communities that align with your interests and values. Taking breaks from the internet or limiting exposure to certain types of content can also help maintain a healthier online experience. Don't share sensitive info. Chats may be reviewed and used to train our models. Learn more ChatGPT can make mistakes. Check important info. " I think that a better answer might have something to do with commercial interests.

That's a whole lot of words to say almost nothing.

[-] prex@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah. Flying squids answer was better.

One thing I thought generative ai would be better at is staying focused. I think this starts well but in the second half has too many unrelated sentences
