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.

not at all. it's a knock on effect sure but the incentives to enshittify are long term precursors to AI chatbots. importantly, the exact same pressures are on AI. didnt they start putting ads on AI already?

the thing to remember about all new tech products is they're as a rule unprofitable, propped up by heaps of investment, then "enshittify" once market penetration is sufficient from subsidized/free use in order to make profit
