Depends. I often click on articles based on the summary because the article link is usually posted before the summary is. Sometimes the summary doesn't really explain enough for me to understand. Other times I want to know more. But when you use chatgpt to answer a query usually you don't leave that page in order to get more information and that's the problem I'm pointing out. Usually you don't even have a link to where the information in the summary came from either (my experience is limited to Google's Gemini, which I don't use, but which for a while was front and center on any query I typed in).

Becuase the app is in alpha lol, its janky everywhere, has no settings or customizability uet, cant even make communities yet, ill give them the benefit of the doubt that you can turn them off or auto hide them

So not only was the AI put front and center, it was also put in first?!

I've looked at plenty of alpha software before, and I've seen plenty of incomplete features. I understand that one has to give an unfinished product leeway. But devs do not simply accidentally add a whole feature into an app. Or if this was somehow all a huge coincidental mistake, they made a massive PR blunder.

All valid points, and he base truth around all this is there's no way this is the original Digg anyway. Someone bought the name rights and have Diggs' corpse strung up with a painted on smile.

Well you see there's gonna be a digg store where all your diggs can get you a virtual hat for your diggdug Ai virtual toon man guy.

Because those shitty patterns make the platform valuable. It's about creating investor value, end user be damned.

Guess this particilar use of ai just isnt an issue for me, I personally have more problems with lemmys use of generative ai and hyping it up

summaries are a non issue, stealing other ppls work to pass of on your own is

How's mbin doing, lately? I switched (back) to Lemmy when kbin shuttered and haven't kept up with it.

Cool how?

Is anyone else amazed that digg just won’t die? How many other popular sites have come and gone, and yet, digg is always lurking in the shadows.

My mom still maintains her Angelfire site. MySpace still exists. There are historical cities that are ghost towns of what they once were - yet the cities exist. Once you reach a particular space of cultural ubiquity, it gets hard to disappear.

I also understand that reddit is more of a cuprit when it comes to a zero click internet, and thats because ppl summarizing in comments and no one clicking the article. The ai summary is shorter then a human one would be, its literally one sentence, summary already exists discouraging a human summary so ppl click the link for more information. I bet ppl are more likely to click links with a tldr than they are with a reddit top comment summarizing with sources and whatever else

If it stars out enshittified then you never had anything to enshittify, just plain shit.

I'm pretty sure I read the other day that it's the original founders of Digg (Kevin Rose) who bought back the corpse and are leading this with VC funding.

Digg is now back under the ownership of original founder Kevin Rose, who is joined by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.

Digg has been basically dead for 15 years.
