Right Down the Middle

Hitler wrote what he is going to do. People didn't take him serious and everyone thought oh I get an advantage. Oh this doesn't happen to me. Later when it happened to them it was too late as the people who it didn't happen to didn't wanted to help because it didn't happened to them.

I used to avoid old web content because it might have become irrelevant. Nowadays I distrust most content created after 2022 because of AI infestation

I get this. The weird part is that AI was supposed to make information easier to access, but it has also massively increased the cost of deciding whether information is worth trusting.

Before, I mostly asked: “Is this outdated?” Now I often ask: “Did anyone actually research or experience this, or is it just a plausible-looking summary generated from other summaries?”

What bothers me most isn't even that AI-generated content can be wrong. Humans have always written garbage. It's that producing convincing garbage has become essentially free, so the ratio of signal to noise is getting worse.

I don't think “before 2022 = trustworthy” is a reliable rule either, but I understand why older content can feel more valuable now: at least you know it wasn't produced by the current wave of generative-AI content farms.
