Before AI was a thing, I tried a few times to post a question on reddit. Something like "Any recommendations for solving X? I've already tried Y, and it didn't work because of Z".

Most of the responses were to try Y, even though I clearly stated I had already tried that.

The others were telling me I was wrong about Z (I wasn't), or silly for even wanting X.

I don't consider AI in its current state a significant downgrade. But it seems inevitable that it will get worse.
