I’ve tried several types of artificial intelligence including Gemini, Microsoft co-pilot, chat GPT. A lot of the times I ask them questions and they get everything wrong. If artificial intelligence doesn’t work why are they trying to make us all use it?
Look at all the comments on this post. We’re not quite there but imagine half of the comments written by Chat GPT and it’s only going to get better.
Does it matter than 50% of them get it wrong?
To advertisers? No.
To the platform designers? Also no.
To idiot users? Still no.
To non-idiot users? Surprisingly no (bc we already left and are here now:-).
To people wanting Reddit to go the distance and boost their stock values, yes. But only in the long-term, which never exists, and in the short-term, no.
Hence, enshittification, delivered in a confident tone.
