If you would have told me that AI would create a more fractured internet, with a more hollow and disappointing experience, hurting human culture, literacy (we read less), a force for white collar deskilling, and detrimental to human well-being with questionable economic benefits, I probably wouldn't have believed you. But there's a weight in pretending and a nagging feeling that this isn't it.
