What's especially frustrating is that the posts about AI are also disproportionately written by AI. I can sort of understand that people who are very enthusiastic about LLMs also use them for blogging. But the most bizarre part is that a lot of anti-AI opinion pieces are LLM-generated too. Either cynical click-sploitation or extreme hypocrisy.

Maybe have AI Tuesdays, where you only post AI crap every Tuesday?

For me the biggest loss was the explore tabs on github, particularly the trending repositories. You used to be able to go there and find a trendy project or two.
