Dont think it matters anymore, why would it here?

I believe there are fewer people nowadays, but Similar Worlds was always a small tightknit community. I don't believe it's become smaller due to AI, it's been more like a steady decline over many years, long before AI became anything like what it is today. This is gonna sound terrible, but the "quality of people" is what has declined the most. This was originally a "refugee camp" for people who used to use another social network called Experience Project, however Similar Worlds got a lot of things wrong about what made Experience Project good, so few people from those times hung around for very long. I honestly only know a handful of people here now who are even capable of spelling their own name, let alone have anything remotely interesting to say. I don't even try to post anything interesting myself anymore, because this website, and the large majority of its community, just isn't worth it. Just little things like showing ads in the middle of our profiles (between collections and posts) makes it feel incredibly cheap. Everyone here know each other, and if they don't know you, they'll accuse you of being someone else's alt-account. 😅

@Nightwings Advertisements appear on a specialist site dedicated to one of my interests, but only from companies relevant to it; and only as marginalia off the discussion pages themselves. That could be by its own managers' policy though. It removes any trade ads found trying to sneak into the discussion fora and private-users' classified-ads pages.
I wondered if because SW is USA-based its ads are all from US companies, so you only see the ads in the USA.

@ArishMell I got Ukrainian ads a couple times, so it seems that they show ads depending on where we live.

@Nightwings Ah - that could well explain it! If I don't see ads it may simply be that they have not sold advertising space to British companies.

Every day, multiple times a day, for almost a decade.
Doesn't mean this is the only thing that I do either.
Yes, I am very up on AI. Likely more than most.
It's not a cure all, by a long shot. I likely argue with AI more and win, than I argue on here. And I'm heavy into politics.

I haven't been around here long, but we did seem to lose a few once the railroad came.

Old Timers?
Artificial Intelligence / Idiocy / Indolence has not been around for long enough to have much effect on a site like this, but anyway does not do anything like the same thing.
We may be all hiding behind nick-names but we are all real people. AI merely collates other people's writings to answer questions, and is totally impersonal.

What's AI?
70 year old, here... 😉
70 year old, here... 😉
@walabby A computer program that has access to lots of data and will reply to questions and conversations based on other conversations it has access to. It cannot think for itself and there is fear that one day it will get to that level, but right now it is just a data pump.
It cannot tell the difference between the truth and a lie, and with people like Rump filling up the airwaves with lies every
day it is sucking in that data as well and then spewing it out.
One day there will be true AI, and then it will take over and us humans will be controlled forever more.

The simple honest answer? No. But not because of AI.
