Before the WWW was mainstream, it was hard to get information/content. It was mainly distributed by massive corporations, and it was the same for everyone. The digital world was out of reach for most.

Once the web 1.0 was everywhere, information/content was available to everyone for free. We had Read access to the digital world.

With the web 2.0, everyone was able to be a generator of content. We all gained Write access to the digital world.

Now we are living a new change, in which we have given Write access to the digital world to machines.

I have heard people saying things like "This AI tool generates a complete 50 pages report about anything you ask, you simply write one sentence and it creates the entire thing." Then people asked who was going to read it, and of course the response was no one. They would just run an AI to summarize it into one sentence. These were all people in business, and they were very happy with the tool. I guess they just want to seem to be doing something.

But my point is... if all this new digital world is basically filled with AI garbage, where will humans connect?

We now have news generated by AI, dating profiles of bots, complete websites and books generated by AI, etc.

All of that is not for human consumption.

Are we humans going to live on small islands like SN and others?, or what do you think will be a transition after most people realize that the AI content is not what they are looking for.

I guess the Dead Internet Theory fits here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaVjQFMg7L0
