I have used Digg since couple of months (it was in private beta). As of then, the only AI they used was for providing summaries for articles/links which is not the worst use case. Of course, app is slow, communities are restricted to a few set of default (Atleast until couple of weeks ago) and worst of all, low user activity. Like, till a month before, it was impossible to see any post that even got 100+ up votes (they have a ranking/leaderboard system where it showed the deficiencies in the system).
Sure with public beta, user activity will go up. Digg till now had one advantage and that was literally no trolling (but when you have such minimal activity it is not surprising).
The site and official app both aren’t exactly lean and I don’t think third party official alternatives(apps) are available (or will be) yet.
