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.

this would-be Reddit competitor, built for the AI era
Oh no...
The founders think that the internet is being flooded with bots and AI agents, which will create demand for online communities like Digg that foster real human connections.
Okay, Digg has my cautious attention...
Beneath posts, Digg is leveraging AI to summarize the article’s content.
And they lost me.
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.

Why the fuck would I want my link aggregator to have a leaderboard?
People competing for fake internet points is already driving some of the worst patterns we're seeing on the social web. Imagine putting that shit front and center.
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

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

The hero no one wanted, or needed
But other than that. Cool
Cool how?

If you examine why the latter is an issue, maybe you'll understand why the former also is...
I already alluded to it elsewhere, but I'd recommend reading up on the harm the zero-click internet causes

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.
