I don't use AI, but I rarely respond to any PMs. There are many reasons
for this; for instance, I remember in the old days, when I first heard
about MMA, I registered on sherdog for a discussion. I don't recall when
that was, but it was many, many years ago. Then, after many years of not
using it, I logged in and found a PM merely insulting me. I very politely
and skillfully correct that PM - however had, ultimately this is not really
"interaction", this is just wasting my time (and, admittedly, I already was
not using sherdog for many years before that either). Since then I have very
decreasingly used PMs in general. It's a difference when I know someone,
of course, but random people on the internet ... the barrier to want to talk
via PMs for me is very low in general. I simply dislike the format of it.
I find it much easier when it is an open discussion, such as was the case on
reddit (before moderators censoring everyone killed that). It's interesting to
see how much censorship happens nowadays. That's very different to the 1990s
era. Either way I think AI is not solely at fault here, because I could see
problems way before AI emerged already. I very rarely use webforums these
days, and Discord is no alternative either - Discord is even worse since it
is all a private company controlling discussions. IRC was easier than that.
