I've been subscribed to this subreddit for multiple years, probably since this account's inception many years ago. Never bothered to read this subreddit regularly, until I pruned my subreddit subscriptions to a much-more-manageable amount. So i began reading through here more regularly.
I enjoyed reading through the TIFUs here, some even made me laugh out loud due to the ridiculousness or goofiness (especially the diarrhoea stories or loud farting LOL)
Unless it was such a bad FU that I could feel the second-hand embarrassment through my screen, or if I could relate a bit too much cause I had fucked up in similar ways before.
And then came the hottest new trend in big tech that was once impressive and had the Wow factor, but is now being shoved down everyones' throats everywhere you go. I started seeing posts that felt a little too made up and hard to believe, or their writing style was weird and alien. Reading the posts helped me put my finger on it: AI was writing those bullshit stories for karma farming!
I held out for a while but became increasingly frustrated that nothing was being done to filter these out. Just today I came across two of those fake AI generated stories and thought "that's it, expect EVERY story here to be AI written".
My only saving grace is the other commenters calling it out. Keep up the good fight, you all!
TL:DR I watched this subreddit fall victim to AI written garbage
