Every post title is worded exactly the same. Like it is made by an AI chat bot or something or the SAME EXACT person over and over. With meaningless posts worded to bait people to respond. Look at the top ten most recent posts lately and they are all the same. Questions like: Does your hair grow? Are you scared of he dark. What size is your…shoe?
sorry for being mean.

Dead Internet. It’s a theory.

We know it’s this. Or least a loose grouping of a few people doing the same thing.
How people continue to fall for the obvious bait day after day is anyone’s guess, though.

We could all be AI chat bots. Arguing with each other, ad infinitum. It’s kind of beautiful when you don’t think about it.

People have to get use to this since every word can be used against you ,which is not a bad idea to have AI edit the posts.
People have no self control. The best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them, because they thrive on negative attention, and 500 replies calling them trolls just rewards them, yet they get it every time.

I completely agree with your observations. It’s been noticeable lately that many posts have a similar, almost robotic tone. It’s concerning when it feels like genuine discussions are being drowned out by these repetitive, low-effort posts. The forum used to be a much more vibrant and informative place. I hope the moderators take this feedback seriously and take steps to address the issue. It’s disheartening to see the quality of content decline like this. Thank you for voicing this, and I hope we can see positive changes soon.

You’re all bots to me. I’m the only real gnome here.
We can’t even prove that we aren’t AI. A bunch of mindless cells in our heads poking at eachother and sharing voltage/chemicals sounds an aweful lot like a bunch of signals between digital logic components. Throw in a bunch of feedback looping and chaos theory and poof: The illusion of sentience.
It’s possible that when put to the Turing test and put on an infinite timeline, a pattern could emerge, which would imply we are deterministic and therefore a bot with no actual free will… Good ol’ Wednesday morning existential dread!

We did have a conversation with an Ai couple of years back ,truly asking us thousands of questions and was a expert in every thing ,it’s boring and when confronted the true owner dropped in. The style of writing changed . A getcha moment.
Let’s put our tinfoil hat on. AI posts is one thing. But I’ve seen some bizarre alts pop up making weird posts as some psyop thing too.
Will the real gnome stand up, stand up…oh wait, you are.

We hope the forum can address these issues to create a more enjoyable experience for you. Your feedback is valuable in making improvements, and we appreciate your insights. We hope that in the future, the forum can regain your interest and subscription. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Most of it is just multi-forum-alt sockpuppet types “fishing” for bites, but there might be a few AI bot-types sprinkled in too for all we know
Been noticing the same thing recently when skimming the front-page on here; lots of “similar” generic-looking threads/thread titles. Hasn’t been too many interesting or fun threads lately - just “generic” looking fluff threads left and right (and not even worth opening 
)
At least the “bait” threads from sockpuppet GD’ers provide some entertainment value, but the “generic”/boring fluff threads? They might as well have been written by an AI they’re so low-effort, a lot are only like 2-3 sentences of pointless fluff
