If it gets bad enough where info on the web is completely unreliable we might see people reverting back to TV and media empires in search of "trust" and "vetted info". The internet would be treated as poisoned. Still an utterly grim picture. But this betrayal would have to be mighty.
This is not going to happen, isn't it? Even if riddled with chatbots is still persuasive enough to generate engagement. Some could choose dark corners, but for the majority would be business as usual.
Speaking of business as usual, how the fuck the ad business could survive this? The only way out that I can see is it if IDs are forced on us somehow, but that's a shitshow in itself.
- MrLeap 4y agoThe era of the "human info curator" is probably a natural evolution of the influencer era. It would be interesting if snapshots of Wikipedia from now-ish end up being seen as the ultimate corpus of unadulterated truth, before the AI's corrupted it. That'll probably happen at the fringes. Everything that can happen does happen at the fringes. Further ingress is the question.
