 I’m not being pessimistic at all, lol. If it reads like that then it’s either just missing tone or is poorly worded. I literally am just curious on how people think we will adapt and what the new environment will look like. I for one love all the shit I can make with Ai, but it’s really fascinating to think what it could mean when generating basically anything has such an incredibly low barrier, that the idea of the open internet kinda doesn’t make sense anymore.

I certainly don’t think Ai is going to kill us all or make good content disappear. To the contrary, this is revolutionary for great content and human flourishing. But that will definitely come with enormous change. My musings are about how that change will unfold. 😁 
 Thanks Guy, I must have misunderstood your post. I'm excited for AI & am on the side of the accelerationistst & envision a far better world in the future, we just have to battle the doomsayers (& politicians) in the meantime. 👍
