Before we had woke, we had DEI. Before we had DEI, we had PC culture.

Before we had doxxing we had invasion of privacy.

Has the term AI just repurposed the concept of….pagerank?

Look, I am but a layman, but i swear to fucking christ AI is just a glorified search engine and they have made google search unusable on purpose.

Google search's decline was notably before the release of chatgpt. However, there has been a notable historic UI/UX stagnation beyond Just Google search. It's probably best described as starting with the release of the iPhone. Not that Apple caused it, but the internet's transition from niche to full of normies caused corporate greed to start circling the wagon on dark patterns. Good UI/UX use to be a selling point, but enshittification starts sooner and sooner for anyone not currently desperate for user acquisition. It's not even rare these days that giant ad spends are used to skip a pre-enshittified phase.
