People will still be able to hang out online even if there's a bunch of AI slop in a lot of places. No one is taking away away the places where people spend time with their friends online. I'm just saying it would generally be good if more people spent less time online

German libraries for example are very serious places, no events or anything.

But whatever. All I'm saying is that, other than AI shit, the internet/web itself has done a lot of good for many people and it would be shit to take it away.

And besides: Where would people go then? There's a seroius lack of places where people can just be and meet without consuming.

I'm not pro-ai, but

These the companies complaining about the quality of the online applications,,, are they the same companies posting ghost job openings that are dead end time wasters for real folks looking for jobs?

(I'm not blaming the messenger. Let's be catty together.)
