You're right, it's not a comment. It supersedes comments. Digg is literally showing you an AI-first ecosystem.

This isn't some UI glitch. It's a feature they stuck front and center. Digg is trying to start a second honeymoon period with users. Why do you think things would get better after that?

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.

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

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

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
