This is different. AI is not a "personal computer" or a "digital camera". AI is a change in perspective of our entire society, how it works, and what we define to be human or human-made creation. The end goal of AI is to abolish all work possible. In a world where there is no work for the common man, I'm afraid to imagine what is left there.

There are two things you're mixing here.

One is how others use AI, the other is how you use AI. No one forcing you to consume content made by AI that you think suck, just turn it off if you don't like it.

Seems really doomsday-like to proclaim "The end goal of AI is to abolish all work possible" when that's not realistically feasible, regardless of what the AI-hypers say. Don't listen so much, and think more.

How? Or do you mean, like, stop using the Internet entirely?

Notice that it's bad/slop/shit, turn it off, do something else.

If you don't notice it, then is it really an issue? And if you notice, you're one click/keypress away from making it disappear.

I agree, with the caveat that the chance of a link in a search result being AI generated is increasing, as well as the sophistication of the generated text, which means a growing percentage of my time is wasted on AI generated content before I realize it.

Sorry, I thought your contention was that nobody is forcing me to consume AI BS content.

		Well, that's true isn't it? No one is forcing you to consume AI BS content, either close it when you come across it, at least works well on the computer. As for TV ads or other shit you can't just skip, I guess looking away or do something else than accept it, is the way to go forward there.

AI is a technology. It has no goal. You use a tool, the tool doesn't use you or have goals or plans for you.

> In a world where there is no work for the common man.

"Work expands to fill the time available" (Parkinson's Law). Work hours haven't been reduced even though technology has advanced tremendously over the centuries (they have been reduced due to push for worker's rights).

> I'm afraid to imagine what is left there.

Do not define yourself, or your worth, through work. You work to live, not live to work.
