AI is to the Internet what SUVs and pickup trucks are to the road network and just the latest example of Jevons' Law. Enshittification indeed.

@NatureMC @tante the tough part is, some people would see the 0.5% and say “well, if that’s the price we have to pay for having this highly sophisticated form of automation on our side, so be it.”

@preslavrachev @NatureMC @tante LOL highly sophisticated. If I want wrong answers to any question imaginable, I could just ask the village idiot instead.

@mls14 @NatureMC @tante You could.

@jd @dan613 @NatureMC ...or they never were wizards in the first place but cheap conjurers of very expensive tricks...

Like a futuristic sci-fi tale where humans are pushed to the fringes and struggle to survive.

Wait. We are already doing that everywhere.
