How AI Is Ruining The Internet
The new artificial intelligence tools seem to be making the internet worse
There’s no doubt that the internet has changed a lot since its inception.
Gone are the early days of basic HTML websites and anything-goes platforms. Just like the unexplored frontier of the past, the internet has been conquered and divvied up amongst the winners.
And now that the internet has its owners, they have decided to subject us to the so-called AI revolution.
AI tools, images, and users have begun to seep into every part of the internet, and in many ways are actively making it worse.
As YouTuber Drew Gooden points out in his video called “AI Is Ruining The Internet”, even websites such as Shutterstock, whose whole business model is providing professional-quality photographs, are featuring AI-made photographs on their website.
The strangest thing is that these new AI images, many of which are of suspect quality, seem to undermine their whole business model, which is built on one simple fact: providing you with quality images you can’t get yourself. With AI, not only are man of the images sub par, but anyone could probably create adequate ones themselves instead of paying Shutterstock’s exorbitant fee.
