I am probably in the minority on HN here, but I’ve mostly made peace with the tradeoffs around LLMs. The benefits I get from them are significant enough that I’m willing to accept some of the downsides.

But to be honest I was never especially invested in online social interaction to begin with. For years, Reddit and HN were basically the only social platforms I used, and lately I’ve mostly stopped using Reddit as well.

I do think we were fortunate to experience the age of innocence of the internet, but in my view, that era was already fading before LLMs arrived by the mega corps. LLMS just finish it of.

And it’s not LLMs to blame. LLMs just enabled smaller player to defile the internet the way Google FB and the others have been doing for years
