As long as we are using enshittification for anything gping downhill my word example is lose getting an extra ‘o’ which makes reading ‘I hate it when I loose my keys’ painful. Why the hell is that so common now?

Originally it was a good descriptor of tech companies starting out as useful and then turning to shit as they leaned into becoming profitable, but if you was to use it as “things get shitty in favor of profits” then I guess it could apply to everything.

I liked the original where it had nuance and was a good shorthand specific to the tech trends.

Games and movies have already used algorithms for background crowds and hair movement, AI would just be a continuation of that kind of thing. One reason to be against it for that purpose is because of the concern of how it will be implemented, since those old algorithms were seen as a tool for professionals to use instead of something to replace those same professionals.

The main concern with generative AI is the ‘replace your workforce’ mentality that is associated with it.
