Art? A friend of 40 years asked me if my beautiful sunset photo was real. I sent lens data and the image was EXIF tagged.

Nothing is real anymore?

The one bright spot I see is that the internet as a source of information is soon over.

In the 90s, the internet promised a utopia connecting people across the globe instantly where censorship was damage to be routed around, and information was free.

In 2025, the internet is a dystopia of misinformation, making everyone dumber and easier to manipulate. Oligarchs own all the platforms and nobody even cares.

The faster that AI ruins it the better. We go back to creating personal connections, building local communities. Happier people making impact in each others lives for real.

That makes no sense. Niche topics require global connections. There just aren't enough locals for niche topics.

Also, one can't really build something that lasts without knowing the whole truth about it. The internet still is the best place to discover the truth, although it takes some effort and corroboration.

I think it’s more like AI empowers and 3x’s the creatives that learn to use it. In all fields where highly intelligent auto-complete is useful it replaces 2/3rds of who you need to hire. The key is to learn to use the tools. As it has always been with new tools like computers etc.
pupppet•1h ago
It's not just a new tool. It replaces the person using the tool, and we're all being conditioned into believing whatever AI churns out, which will never be anything more than average, is good enough.

One might imagine that the layoff-based business model for AI could eventually backfire once people discover how bad the output is, but the incentives seem aligned for a society with heaps of low-quality, AI-generated garbage and a major unemployment/underemployment.

With the current speed of AI progress. We are probably 1 or 2 years away from any generic AI being able to teach languages better than Duolingo.
