Search engines are basically 90% blogspam promotion machines at this point, and the blogspam churning engine is going to become completely autonomous. The tools we're relied on for nearly three decades now are going to become a big virtual tug of war between machine-learning-guided SEO systems and machine-learning-guided ad revenue systems.

Every single anonymous interaction is going to be suspect. The next dogwhistling fucking cryptonazi groyper you run into is probably not even going to be a human being. Machine learning is probably going to elect the next US president. Eventually the medium will become so polluted that we will have to go back to doing everything in person.

Thank you for reading my doompost

    Oddly enough I first became aware of this sort of thing in 2017 when I became a cat owner. The "pet health information" space was already more or less conquered by machine-written articles by then, and it only seems to have gotten worse. I ended up spending a lot of money on vet visits in order to solve problems which I feel like the 2009 version of Google would have been able to tell me how to solve at home.
