things seam kinda off, should i doubt about the entire website? is it run by an agent?
Read this for an actual article written by a real person

Oh God this whole article and website is just a pile of slop. This turd got shat out by some prompt artist calling themselves "Future AI Dude".
The Internet used to have places, but now we have little hellholes like this. I feel attacked personally seeing an AI slop site pretend to have nostalgia for an simpler time.
I know telling people to kys is bad form, but am I allowed to say it to a bot? I am not even sure how a AI would go about killing itself, but the one that wrote this should give it a go.
Maybe "dyc": delete your code
AI and gui gave lot of idiots lot of power and accessibility over spaces that used to be reserved for those who actually knew how to reac them. Now any sub 50 IQ button smasher can shat out a hit piece paying 2 cents and hour to illiterate expat or churn out slop from an ai
Every little mmo guild had their own community forums.
Now everything is freaking discord... I like discord to a point.
For guild stuff I would still prefer forums the good old phpBB - I made so many different skins for it, then the e107 sites...
I haven't thought about elthem for almot 20 yrs... Still have some backups somewhere.
There's a pretty great discord server for my profession. I would love it so much more on a message board. Searching something then wading through other people talking in the middle of trying to read troubleshooting information sucks!
I know what you mean.
Tho nobody stops you from building that website ;)
My ADHD and lack of ability do 🤣

Sounds like an actual good use for AI summaries, if the AI can get the stuff you need separated from the irrelevant conversation.
Then you have to either assume it's accurate which is a damn bold assumption, or you have to read through it yourself to know anyway.
Assuming random messages on Discord are accurate is pretty bold to begin with.
LLM agents do get things wrong, but if it's something you can verify it is a lot faster to let the LLM try, check it out, and if it failed let it try again, vs slogging through hundreds of pages of "maybe there's something in here I need" reading them yourself.
The other advantage the agent has is that it can literally skim months or years of history and correlate what are the most common answers, found in contexts most relevant to your situation, where you're more likely to have search fatigue by the time you find the first statement that might apply...
There were so much more websites back then. Now my google search result is mostly reddit
It's not that there are less websites. It's that google doesn't work anymore and you can't find them.
Not really. Google can only be as good if it actually has good stuff it can surface you. You can't find something that does not exist.
I've had a website at a .com address since 1997. Google used to surface it front page on relevant searches for over a decade. Not so much anymore - now if you don't know its unique name, you're not likely to find it. However, for the people who do reference it on a regular basis, Google does show it for them...
Has the website changed im the past few years like has it updated for mobile support?
Try a different search engine. At least part of the issue really is with Google, specifically.
I am using Ecosia with bing engine configuration. Google still surfaces better results for my case. What should I try?
And DuckDuckGo results are 90% AI slop.
How did this sloppy shit get 86 upvotes.
Who reads the articles? You'd have to go to another site. Nobody does that
I guess we're chopped liver.
what a freakin meat proxy writing this article
Do you have stairs in your house?
