alt Hacker NewsBefore AI I was already being smothered by soul crushing pointless junk made by humans.
You’re placing blame on the wrong spot. It’s algorithms and social media incentive systems not AI. Our digital media incentives addictive minimum effort chum and slop. AI just makes it easier to make.

"algorithms and social media incentive systems" are run by the same group of people and are crap for exact same reasons.
But also no, the crap AI is causing goes waay beyond algorithms and social media. It is ok to blame it.
Like I said on a comment above I think you're wrong because:
> Human slop is slow and easy to contain and build containments around it. Generative AI is so fast that it breaks every possible containment strategy
