Solid description of the important part of this essay. The automated generation of content that perfectly matches to humanity's unconscious desires is terrifying to watch. I also worry that it's inevitable. Even if YouTube or PornHub or Facebook decided to introduce some sanity or human oversight in their system, that's such a massive waste of resources that competitors would beat them over. It's a race to the bottom for automation and machine learning. I genuinely can't think of any way to "go back in time" at this point, other than perhaps moving the entire internet away from its dependence on advertising.
