>>81555037 (OP)The internet was drawing it's last breaths somewhere around 2020-2021, when AI wasn't around and accessible yet. sure lockdowns made normalfags use the internet since they couldn't "just go touch grass", but they didn't have AI to shitpost for them yet so either they had to try their hand at it themselves and risk commiting the cardinal sin of not fitting in somewhere, or shut the fuck up and keep to themselves, and they did the second one, while trying to slowly ease into internet culture
2022/2023 chatgpt and other AI services start being popular, and normalfags begin to outsource critical thinking to it, people who made shitty low-effort content realized you can make shitty content with even less effort now, and it all started blending together.
You can't get rid of AI so I won't complain about it being evil or whatever, but it's a shame it can't create, it can only regurgitate, it's why it appears as if nothing's changed at all, nothing new is being created.
