>It is genuinely surprising how void of older users the internet feels.
Is it really so suprising though? Depending on the definition of old, there may only have been a maximum of like 100k serious internet users or less (as in used the internet for forums, chats, etc). Even though that seems high, it's nothing compared to the 5 billion people who suddenly appeared online in the days after the launch of the iphone.

You got the wrong impression, I meant THESE days it feels like the internet void of older users. Back then it felt like there were more older users.

>Depending on the definition of old,

30s and above, these days it feels like the internet is just teens and 20s.

>there may only have been a maximum of like 100k serious internet users or less

That seems like a low ball estimate. What's ironic is it did feel like the world was on the internet back then but in retrospect it was mostly people who had enthusiasm for whatever their chosen topic was whether it was anime or VHS players.

Boy, you couldn't be more wrong. What stage of 4chan newfag cancer are you? 4chan used to be a magical place, 10+ years ago. It's been shit ever since antiGG shills and the trumpfag invasion rekkt that place into Bolivia. It's not even a rotting corpse of its former self anymore. It's unrecognisable from what it used to be and stood for. All the fun has been removed. 4chan doesn't exist anymore, the place has been completely replaced and the functionality destroyed. It's like if Sweden was 100% Somali. That's 4chan nowadays.

There are going to be face scans and ID checks at every Internet checkpoint. VPNs are denied service.

All of your online activities will be monitored and tied to your face and soon this will include your offline activities with your PC and digital devices.

Everything will eventually be integrated into a single over-socialized AI driven automated system of citizen micromanagement.

You will police your own thoughts and tell on yourself in a kafkaesque court to both contest and find out the offense that brought you there.

Less than half of Gen Z adult males are considered literate. This is not "mmmedia literate" which is when you consider starship troopers to be a movie and not a book. Instead this is about the ability to turn words on a page into comprehensible information.

AI-generated Ghibli art is straight-up nihilistic, man. It’s like, back in the day, you needed *years* to master that hand-drawn, insanely detailed animation style, right? People put in blood, sweat, and tears—countless hours, all that heart and soul. But now? AI cranks out the same stuff in minutes. You just type a prompt and boom, it spits out something that looks like it took a team of animators a decade to make.

It kinda feels like it makes all that hard work *pointless*, doesn’t it? Like, what was once this sacred art form now just gets *diluted* by tech. And that’s not just the artist’s problem—it’s everyone’s problem. AI’s coming for jobs, man. People in creative fields, animators, illustrators? Pretty soon, they’re all gonna be irrelevant because some program can do it faster, cheaper, and without giving a damn. The whole idea of *earning* your living with skill and craftsmanship? Gone. Just like that. Feels like we’re all being replaced by machines, and for what? So we can sit here watching a bunch of soulless art get churned out? It’s depressing, A part me is happy with the through normgroids are going to suffer and lose their jobs.

When AI has wrote every word of the text, AI is just too baked into it. It has its voice and nuances. If that extra 30% means a truly great work of human writing it can't be done. Just like it would be better to just start from scratch than to edit a bad writer into a masterpiece.

If the goal is just to fool the average reader. Then yes that can be done. There are obvious tics like em dashes to take out. At the very least you got the inquisitors hesitating on the border.

That's exactly why it is pessimistic for anyone whose main talent was writing or art. It's two different standards. Creating something brilliant and powerful that you can be proud of vs something that can fool consumers. And in such a world there's little motivation to strive for the 1st. The average plebian already likes unedited AI poetry better than human classics.

You missed flubbed up stairwell, trees growing from walls and maybe a plastic-looking fence.

HOWEVER, most of the errors may be explained with a single thesis: BUILDING SO OLD IT'S RUN-DOWN.

I wonder if the reference, the original building was both plain and askew and the painting simply reflects it.






So.
