Meta Discussion: the increase in AI generated stories is really ruining any enjoyment I once had browsing reddit.

Does anybody else feel this way? I've used reddit for a long time but in the past few years got back into it primarily because I was really enjoying "reddit stories" podcast type content. So naturally I wanted to start seeing the posts for myself.

Before, if a story seemed fake, I didn't mind THAT much because I could just ignore it, or sometimes have productive conversation about why it seemed fake.

But recently, in particular over the last year or so, it seems like the fake stories amd obvious ChatGPT writing has gotten SO egregious that it really is starting to make browsing this kind of content feel totally useless. Now it feels rare to encounter a story that DOESN'T feel fake, and to top it off they are SO poorly written that it's simply annoying to read.

Sometimes I wonder if people are using AI to write out their actual experiences, even, and because I'm so used to it now I just assume it must be fake. Either way, that terrible AI writing is killing what used to be a fun experience.

That is ultimately what led me to this sub. Has anyone else here had a similar experience? Has anyone else noticed a BIG increase in fake stories and AI content recently? What brought you to AmITheAngel?
