AI continues to feel like an ouroboros to me, the snake that bites its own tail. Whatever gains are perceived/assumed/purported are then outweighed by the increased effort required to manage whatever those gains product as output.

You can create incredible amounts of content, including spam, that is posted by AI agents, generated from data harvested from the very platforms they now flood, only to then have to manage them using other AI agents. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia... www.theverge.com/tech/975398/...

Ask everyone to increase (pardon, maxx) their token usage, only to then realise (quelle surprise!) that that stuff is expensive in real life and that tokens used, just like lines of code, is no realistic measure of value created: www.msn.com/en-gb/money/...

The algorithmic (can we still even call them social?) platforms give us tools to create an abundance of meaning- and soulless posts with equally unappealing imagery only to then consider the consequences for their platform's waning appeal to humans. www.msn.com/en-us/techno...
