Yeah, I'm the old man shaking fist at clouds. But about this latest plateau in generative "AI" that's being commodified into products and services, yes it's impressive and useful in many ways. But if it becomes the basis for how we interact with data and the Internet itself, I believe it's going to make the Internet worse in the longer term. The new gadgets, AI Pin and Rabbit R1 have received brutal reviews but show us a future direction our use of the Internet and data may take.
I can only hope we grow to compartmentalize this technology and apply it where it's useful without growing to rely on it for all of our information needs. The so-called "shitification" of the Internet and Dead Internet theories have been around a long time, and these generative AI products stand a good chance of making them indisputable.
Here are some thoughts on the new Internet-of-Voices technologies. They're already useful in some ways, but I'm concerned if we lose the sense of discovery that the Internet has given us through search. I fear the possible future of a dark, colorless voice-Internet that may one-day provide singular answers to all of our questions.
