    The web was already flooded with human generated spam, adding AI spam to the mix hasn’t really changed anything meaningful - you still can’t find useful content on the vast majority of webpages.

    What we really need is a better search engine, one that doesn’t include low quality content… that might be something AI can help with.

      Yes, but the sheer volume of trash these AIs can generate will be an even bigger problem that needs addressing.

        Ugh i used stable diffusion for a few weeks and even with better prompt engineering it still felt like generative trash. Guess i wasn’t creative enough in prompting because I’ve seen some great stuff from others.

    Meh. Email was going to implode before someone came up with baysean filters and Gmail became a thing. Last time I checked (once in a blue moon), email still works.

    Certainly 99.999% of SMTP traffic is garbage but my inbox is still usable.

    Who knew the black wall from cyberpunk would end up being real but with adds!

    How long until we get internet 2.0 walled garden for humans?
