"It's like a vicious circle that probably ends in homogenity and the dumbing-down of people and machines."
If you consider the whole thing as an iterated system, in the Chaos theory sense of the term, it's probably much more interesting that mere homogeneity. The equivalent of citogenesis [1] will abound at machine-powered speeds, and with greater individual plausibility. In a few select places, entire fictional concepts will be called into existence, possibly replacing real ones. It's likely most places will look normal, too. It won't be a simple situation that can be characterized easily with everything being wrong or dumbed down or anything like that, it'll be a fractal blast of everything, everywhere.
