I keep feeling this feeling and it depresses me. I start reading an article and then gradually realise it's a load of AI slop, but by the time I get that realisation I've already wasted several minutes of my life. It's a sinking feeling like I've been duped, but not for anybody's gain - the "author" isn't earning anything from my view, they've just wasted my time for no reason. Even my misfortune is valueless. It happens again and again and again, it's wearing me down.

What are we doing here?
