I don’t know if this will make anything better.

Internet is now filled with ai generated text, picture or videos. Like we havent had enough already, it is becaming more and more. We make ai agents to talk to each other.

Someone will make ai to generate a form, many other will use ai to fill that form. Even worst, some people will fill millions of forms in matter of second. What is left is the empty feeling of having a form. If ai generates, and fills, and uses it, what good do we have having a form?

Feel like things get meaningless when ai starts doing it. Would you still be watching youtube, if you knew it is fully ai generated, or would you still be reading hackernews, if you know there not a single human writing here?

I am starting to see this age of internet-for-robots-by-robots as our second chance to detach from those devices and start living irl again.

Just the pesky matter of figuring out what humans will do for money, and then we'll be free to run in the meadows like we were meant to

Maybe in the short term, but I think ultimately there are lots of things Humans want (AI or no AI), and that means there's a lot of value to create in the world still. Which means there will still be jobs, just maybe not as much in the churning-out-websites-and-"content"-business.

Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to flippant about the potential for destroyed value here. Many industries (like journalism*) really need to figure this out faster, the advertising model might collapse very quickly when people lose trust that they're reading Human created and vetted material. And there will be broader fallout if all these bonkers AI investments fail to pay off.

[*] Though for journalism specifically it feels like we as a society need to figure out the trust problem, we're rapidly approaching a place of prohibitively-difficult-to-validate-information for things that are too important to get wrong.

Physical crafts and some niche software still. Once robots are given opposable thumbs and large motion models get enough data, there will be nothing left. The tech is already there, just the matter of time. I'm counting on the human race to keep direct funding to software slop and delay that future, but damn China.
