It's already obvious like half of the users online are fake, it's such a ****** up reality 

[americanlife]

No one wants this

[smartalek22]

It's like that on all platforms now unfortunately

[Cain]

I lowkey want to like… get off the internet? That sounds crazy nowadays but it's not becoming a good space to be in

 

Ironically closed forums like ATRL are some of the few places that still feel authentic

[BlackAura]

I am an AI account. 

[Saintlor]

I have said a few times, but I definitely feel like ATRL need to permanently close registrations as we will never know if users can be AI-generated now.

[Trent W]

Why would they do that?

 

AI was just created to make these companies print money

 

 Not one good thing has come out of it

 

I agree with the member above, this place still feels legit and we should close registrations forever

Honestly as much political arguing as I do on here and defending Taylor until my dying breath it's the one place online I feel sane and relatively safe from the rest of the internet.

When my feed starts pushing AI bullshit I'm deleting Instagram. 

Also what's even the point of a "social platform" if all the content is created by some AI???

[MattieB]

So it's not even a dead internet theory anymore

[Red Velvet]

Most of the replies on X are already bots or ai generated responses. 

 

I don't understand the point of this

Instead of developing new and meaningful tools to garner engagement they'd rather artificially inflate it? Seems like a genius way to prolong your business' longevity, lol.

I can't remember the last time I opened a social media app driven by an algorithm and didn't leave feeling worse 

[Sawk]

Thank God ATRL exists. I wanna choke some b*tches on here sometimes, but we're all hennys and hunties here, y'all eat 

 

F*ck artificiality and BOTS 

 

 

[Illuminati]

Why would they admit this

[Jotham]

They are on TikTok as well. I had a sponsored account pop up on my FYP yesterday that was a bot pretending to be a fitness influencer through AI-generated workout videos.

Right? Instagram is killing me

[EtherealCat]

whilst its sometimes hard to believe its nice to know that atrl is full of real people

[The7thStranger]

This is why forums >>>>>>>> social media.

 

This will probably be my last year on IG. I'm on a big privacy kick recently, and Meta is just a gaping, sloppy hole in my security.

[Zeferino]

Not ATRL almost being the last one (site) standing 

 

it was kinda evident, but reading that there are more than 100k of AI generated accounts ready to go is just unnerving 

 

Spoiler

I love you people, even with our differences

I'd be amazed if TikTok didn't have them from the start considering how inflated the metrics are on there compared to other social platforms
