> I think I've managed to avoid most of the AI generated internet.

I honestly am not sure that one can know that that is true anymore. Probably the only place left that I have any confidence in is maybe the small discords I'm in with various friend groups with <30 people that all know each other IRL.

How? I'm genuinely interested.

Where are you going?

Reddit has a lot of AI generated stuff

Youtube comments are even worse.

Twitter seems 99% AI garbage

I think I need to find old school forums to discuss things.

Even the human generated content is written by humans increasingly influenced by AI generated content

How do you know? You can easily create AI generated text that is impossible to identify as such.

Uhh, you are on HN. Most articles posted here are ai slop and many of the comments too.

There are exceptions, e.g. lobste.rs has an invitation tree. When someone starts posting LLM-generated comments, that part of the tree can get yanked. Also, it builds up a community gradually, because you need to be invited by someone. Since the invitation tree is visible, people will generally only vouch on people they trust, because an invitee that violates the rules will reflect bad on the inviter (and might get removed if they do that too often).

To the bar or whatever physical activity you may like as long as you can talk to flesh and blood human beings.
