Tell HN: I'm tired of AI-generated answers

The author expresses frustration with the increasing prevalence of AI-generated responses in online interactions, citing examples such as receiving identical AI-written replies on GitHub, a business owner forwarding unhelpful ChatGPT screenshots, and unknowingly conversing with an AI agent on Reddit. They emphasize a desire to communicate with real people, but note that even human interlocutors often rely on AI to formulate their answers.

I found GitHub repositories that were spreading malware. I asked AI what I should do about it, but it gave me nothing useful. So I opened a discussion on GitHub. Someone replied. It was literally the exact same text the AI had given me. I called it out and the comment was deleted. Then another person replied. Same exact AI response again. I worked as a developer in a company. I asked the business owner a question about a business task. He sent me a ChatGPT screenshot with the answer. I replied that it had nothing to do with the question and everything there was wrong. A minute later he sent me another ChatGPT screenshot. He didn't even read the AI's answer. He just screenshots and forwards it. Recently someone sent me a DM on Reddit about my post. I replied. He wrote again, I replied again. After a few messages I realized I was talking to an AI agent. I'm tired of talking to AI. I want to talk to real people. But even when I talk to people, they forward my questions to AI and send me the AI's answer. More notes: orchidfiles.com/notes
