In this video, Boyle explores how tools like #ChatGPT, #Claude, and Google’s AI Overviews are intercepting audiences, scraping content without compensation, and threatening the viability of independent news and trusted information -

Người dùng YouTube đang ngừng làm video hướng dẫn thực tế? Thay vào đó, họ chỉ đọc lại blog hoặc thông báo chính thức, thiếu nội dung sáng tạo và trải nghiệm thực tế như dùng thử model Function Gemma. Cộng đồng lo ngại nội dung đang phụ thuộc quá nhiều vào thuật toán thay vì giá trị cho người xem. #ContentQuality #YouTube #AI #HuongDan #AI #TutorialCrisis #ThucTrangNoiDung

I publish on Medium, even though my opinion about Medium itself is… complicated.

My registration there was motivated by fairly base motives: Medium ranks high in search results, and I hoped that if I dropped a few solid pieces there, I’d gain some momentum and send a bit of traffic back to my actual work. That part still makes sense. Medium is a distribution channel, and I am not too proud to use distribution channels.

But every time I publish, I get the same sinking feeling: my content is getting diluted into an endless flood of "content", much of it clearly generated by AI and pasted in with minimal thought.

I have nothing against AI as a tool. It can be an excellent proofreader. It can help you sanity-check a claim, find a missing link, or summarize background faster. Medium itself even draws a line in its Partner Program rules between AI-assisted work and fully AI-generated writing behind the paywall.

What I *can’t* respect is the mindless conveyor belt approach to publishing. You know the genre:

- "10 bash commands every programmer should know"
- "5 tools that improved my workflow SO MUCH"
- "12 settings you should turn on on your iPhone"
- "15 settings you should turn off on your iPhone"
- "7 projects that ruled 2025"
- "13.2 projects that will rule 2026"

And then a swarm of near-identical variations from hundreds of accounts, boosting and clapping in a tight loop until the whole thing becomes an attention arbitrage market.

Is it fair that thoughtful writing competes with mass-produced listicles? Probably not. But "fair" is a bad metric for systems built around engagement and volume. The system is not trying to reward originality. It’s trying to maximize throughput and retention. If you aim for fairness, you’ll mostly collect frustration.

So here’s the conclusion I’m slowly settling into:

1. Medium is where I *drop* pieces, not where I *build* my archive. My home base needs to be somewhere I control, where the work stays findable and coherent over time.
2. I won’t compete on volume. I’ll compete on specificity. The kind of post that solves a real problem, or makes a real point, will always have a small audience that actually cares.
3. This is also a backup problem, in disguise. If your entire writing life depends on one platform’s feed and incentives, you’re not publishing, you’re renting attention.

If you’re on Medium (or any large platform) too, what are you optimizing for? Search reach? Community? Monetization? Habit?
And if the answer is "because it’s where people are", at what point does that become "because leaving is too costly"?

Một bài đăng trên Reddit đã nêu lên lo ngại về sự gia tăng nội dung do AI tạo ra kém chất lượng ("AI slop"), đặc biệt từ các tài khoản mới. Tác giả kêu gọi các quản trị viên cộng đồng thực hiện biện pháp kiểm duyệt chặt chẽ hơn, như đặt ra yêu cầu về điểm karma hoặc tuổi tài khoản tối thiểu, để bảo vệ chất lượng diễn đàn.

The trust collapse: Infinite AI content is awful

I’ve noticed something about Feiverse lately — the feed is getting flooded with meaningless posts.
You scroll, and half of what you see are random phrases followed by an external link. No context, no thoughts, no effort.

It really feels like those posts are generated or cross-posted automatically through some third-party software. And while I get that automation helps with promotion, it kinda ruins the experience for everyone else.

Wouldn’t it be great if Feiverse had an option to hide or filter out such auto-posted content?
That way, the main feed would stay more authentic and filled with real voices instead of bot-like noise.

What do you guys think — should platforms start giving us more control over what kind of posts we see?
