However, from my point of view, the Internet has been steadily turning to garbage for a long time. We’ve reached the point where it’s starting to take human society down with it. LLMs are just the latest turd in the pile of shit.
The more the general population uses it to communicate with each other the more it reflects all of the negative parts of society that are based on ignorance and lack of empathy. Sadly, the majority of people need others to exist in the same space to even have a chance of considering them to be people. We already know how often that doesn’t happen even in person…

The only people using it 30+ years ago were students, academia, and the government. That fact might skew your perspective on it a little since you weren’t having conversations with anyone under 18 or anyone who didn’t understand how to properly use a computer or afford one back then for that matter. The internet really went to shit when smartphones really took off around 2010 because it allowed every dipshit access to it easily, everywhere, all the time. Generative AI is going to make it all more stupid.
