Ask HN: Could AI prevent the decline of social media by highlighting usernames?

1•amichail•1h ago
I’ve been thinking about how AI interacts with social media content. Usually, AI references posts or topics without naming the users behind them. But what if it included usernames directly?

The AI would not choose favorites. It would simply mention the original poster when referencing their content, making attribution explicit in its replies rather than leaving the person hidden. This way, creators get proper recognition for their contributions, which could naturally lead to more views, followers, and engagement.

In effect, AI could act as a connector, linking content to the people behind it and helping sustain activity on platforms that thrive on attention and interaction.

What do you think of this idea?
