    It is 'funny'. Countless people today express how #AI has made it so much easier to figure stuff out that previously involved a whole bunch of manual activities and investigation.

    Basic example are the AI summaries at the top of search results, that may obviate the need to click through to individual websites (to the detriment of site content creators).

    But also way more complex tasks, such as "Plan my 2wk sightseeing trip to Thailand with this and that price/quality criteria and personal preferences".

    Today a #LLM may honor that request. But as our corporate web is based on #Ads and #SurveillanceCapitalism, as soon as there's consolidation in the AI sector you can bet that #LLMs services will pounce in these practices too.

    And it will bring #Enshittifaction to new unprecedented heights. With #BigTech in firm control, elites and shareholder raking in the Big Money, serving marketeers, normal people truly become the product: Lambs to the slaughter.
