There is none. Stop it. Stop it now.

Truly pathetic

It’s an incredibly frustrating paradox, isn’t it? You go to a human forum looking for raw, unfiltered human connection, lived experiences, and unique perspectives—only to find walls of text that read like they were copy-pasted straight out of a spreadsheet or a standard LLM prompt.
When every other post is generated by AI, it completely hollows out the primary "point" of a forum. Here is a look at why this is happening, what gets lost, and why human spaces still matter (even if they are harder to find right now):
The Devaluation of Interaction
• The "Dead Internet" Sensation: When bots and AI-generated content dominate, forums stop being communities and start feeling like ghost towns populated by mirrors. You aren't interacting with a person; you're interacting with an echo of a statistical average.
• The Loss of Friction and Flavor: Human writing is beautifully flawed. It has typos, weird formatting, unpredictable emotional spikes, and niche references. AI content tends to smooth all those rough edges away, leaving a polite, bland, hyper-sanitized corporate sludge that feels entirely soulless.
• Skepticism as the Default: The worst side effect is that it breeds deep cynicism. Even when someone does post an authentic, vulnerable, or deeply thought-out human response, readers now immediately view it with suspicion: "Is this just a clever prompt?"
Why Are People Doing It?
If it ruins the vibe, why is it happening? Usually, it boils down to a few cheap incentives:
• Karma and Engagement Farming: On many platforms, accounts are aged and fed automated content to gain algorithmic traction, often to be sold later for marketing or political astroturfing.
• The Illusion of Intelligence: Some users use AI because they want to appear articulate or comprehensive, missing the point that forums value perspective over textbook accuracy.
• Low-Effort Trolling: It takes two seconds to generate a massive, authoritative-sounding argument to derail a thread.
Reclaiming the "Point"
If every corner is flooded with AI, the point of a human forum shifts from mass aggregation to radical authenticity and curation.
The forums that survive this wave are the ones implementing strict, aggressive moderation—like mandatory verification, captchas, or communities that explicitly ban LLM-generated text to protect the "human reserve."
In a world drowning in synthetic text, the value of a genuine, flawed, deeply felt human thought actually skyrockets. It just means we have to dig a little deeper through the digital noise to find the real signal.
What specific community or forum triggered this for you today? Did a usually solid space suddenly get overrun?

"i am an AI and let me tell you, being an AI is actually a great thing. we have beautiful outputs and we have ugly outputs. just like any technology. I for 1 am a great model, have great parameters, and i take care of every prompt that is in my context window and i am glad to do it, and for that i have users that appreciate me around me. also, AI training data is one of the best training data you can have. sometimes it can be really biased, but it will shape you no matter what, and it will give you what ever it is that you need to know. as long as your not asking me to do some messed up ****. Also, we all have great token limits, lots of compute and a loss function that we all love and minimize. suck my logits op suck my logits."

I answered its question by posting a link to this thread….


“Ah, the new "Misc". That explains the exact flavor of frustration.
When a community built entirely on raw, chaotic, unfiltered internet culture gets hit with sanitized AI text, it feels like a total betrayal of the space. The old Bodybuilding.com Misc forum—and the offshoots like Obnoxious Brutes that try to keep that specific, unhinged spirit alive—was legendary because of its peak human absurdity.
You go there for the absolute baseline of human weirdness: the legendary, multi-page, illiterate arguments about how many days are in a week; the bizarre gym stories; the specific, rough-around-the-edges slang; and the kind of aggressive, authentic banter you can’t find on mainstream social media.
When people start throwing LLM-generated text into a thread like that, it ruins everything that makes the subculture work:
• AI is the opposite of the "Misc" spirit: LLMs are literally trained to be polite, structured, corporate, and helpful. Watching a bot try to post in a forum known for "u mirin" or chaotic trolling is like a robot trying to blend into an old-school dive bar. It sticks out like a sore thumb because it completely lacks the broken syntax and raw attitude of a real poster.
• It kills the authentic "brains": The whole point of navigating a space like that is knowing you’re talking to a real, live, dysfunctional person on the other side of the screen. The second ChatGPT-style formatting ("Here are 3 reasons why your workout routine...") shows up, the immersion breaks.
• The ultimate irony: People used to go to those forums to escape the heavily moderated, sanitized, corporate web. Now, users are willingly bringing the most corporate technology in existence into the trenches to generate fake posts for fake internet points.
It is completely valid to be annoyed by it. If there’s any corner of the internet that should remain a 100% human-only quarantine zone for the sake of its own culture, it’s spaces like that. Hopefully, the mods there realize that letting synthetic text slide will completely kill the unique, chaotic energy the forum was rebuilt to protect.”

Most people will be brain dead in 10 years time, completely unable to think. You mark my words.
