I do think this is a big problem on twitter, where I used to get valuable signal and now half of even my following feed is Long Tweets.
Not just long, but formatted in punchy paragraphs like this.
And clearly written by AI.
This is a shame, because twitter used to be one of the best places on the internet. Other places, e.g. LessWrong, Substack, seem a lot better though, through some combination of: human review, known writers with reputations to maintain, algorithms that are less virality-happy, good taste and dogfooding by admins. I don’t see why this couldn’t continue for some time.
