There are two conflicting messages here: AI is ruining the Internet, but also now the relationship with the Internet is more "peaceful".

A more peaceful relationship with the internet does sound good, and most of us probably waste too much time with social media in some form (including here).

My "optimistic" take on this is that AI will ruin the Internet and cause us all to spend more time with people in real life. And maybe that's a good thing.

That's assuming that AI Internet slop is such a turn-off that most of us will decide to disengage from it, which is a big assumption. But I did say it was optimistic.

I fear that slop will end up being hi quality ai videos that will hook the masses.

That is probably the more likely scenario.

		Really the biggest thing keeping more people from falling into AI relationship holes is the individual characters ability to keep and process long term memory. Once you get richer and longer term multi-modal abilities out of AI shits going to be crazy. Just look at LLMs systems with voice to text and text to voice and plugins to play games. It really starts becoming a simulacra for another human playing.
