AI is destroying trust, period. And of course not AI by itself, but people who are too eager to use AI and try to get an advantage in systems not set up to handle AI-boosted participants. AI enables effortless high-quality fakes on a level never seen before.

Personally, I don't mind AI content at all when it's disclosed and I choose to participate.

But I regard it as betrayal when I expect human effort on the other side - which I do when I listen to music, watch a video on YouTube, or read a book.

AI is particularly timed in a world where alienation was already a hot issue. I think human curation and human trust networks will become more relevant for people seeking genuinely human things. I know I already appreciate them more.

I’m hopeful but not optimistic that AI will ruin the internet so badly that there will be a reversion to the real world as people crave authenticity.

I've been hearing a lot about human curation being the solution. But don't we have that already? Isn't Oprah the ultimate pop curator?

I have nothing against curation, but I fear it will concentrate options into a few mega curators as there will be a flood of would-be curators getting lost in the noise. Aspiring content creators will have to receive the blessing of these super curators to make a living.

		Yeah that's the thing, the mechanism of popularity is a blessing and a curse. Algorithms were a popular upset to the previous system which we could call curated, but also nepotist. I suspect too that networking will be important in the future as well, not that it ever went away really.
