Thanks for your perspective. Sure, AI is here to stay and flood the internet with slop and arbitrary (mis)information phrased like a factual wikipedia article, journalism, a genuine user review or whatever its master chose. And the negative sides of the internet have been there long before we had AI to the current extent. I think it is extremely unlikely that the internet is going to move away from being powered by advertisements, though. That's the main business model as of today, and I think it is going to continue that way. Maybe dressed in some new clothes, but social media platforms, Google etc still need their income. I wonder how it'll turn out for the AI companies, though. To my knowledge, they're currently all powered by hype and investor money. And they're going to have to find some way to make profit at some point. Whether that's going to be ads or having their users pay properly, and not like today where the majority of people I know use the free tier.
