Enshittification is about maximizing revenue, typically in a way that destroys your product. Examples are ads on subscription video streaming services. Another good example is how some music artists say no to getting paid by Spotify and Spotify then suggests those songs more and collects the money that would have gone to that artist.
How the fuck is AI going to do anything about that? Are we talking Skynet, end of the world type thing? That should do it.
AI won’t reverse enshitification, but it is one solution in this sense:
The internet is too far gone. It’s all bots and advertising and disinformation and exploitation and data harvesting. People still seem to trust content on the internet for some reason. AI will sort that out by making the internet so unreliable, people will have to distrust it to the extent they should.
Yeah commercial/mainstream internet is such garbage now. I stay away from those spots as much as I can help it.
It’s really optimistic to think that the greater public will start to think of LLMs output as unreliable and not trustworthy some day.
I’ve seen everyone using AI at work and it’s bad. They’re clueless and just trust it implicitly. I’ve had to correct many mistakes, even made by IT admins who should really know better.
I’d go so far as to say my imposter syndrome has outright died after watching the ineptitude of people as they let AI tooling rot their work.
Protein powered LLM
Kill me now.
That’s the most techbro thing I’ve ever read.
