A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Alt text: A rocket engine attached to a train. The rocket is labeled "AI" and the train labeled "Enshittification train".
AI's most successful accomplishment is going to be its ability to parse the astronomical amounts of personal data corporations and governments have been collecting for the last 20 years. Enshittification and the identification, surveillance, and targeting of dissidents.

Always the plan, funnily enough. They didn't necessarily know what they'd need the data for, just knew it was valuable and should be sucked up and saved until the opportunity presented itself.
Check out the latest episode of the excellent podcast “Search Engine”… Very much relevant and very much terrifying.
Can I just make a special note of appreciation that this image is not itself AI generated. *golf clap
I've never used an AI image generator, so why start now? lol. Though I did use Google image search to find "train with rocket on it" which probably does use ML under the hood to classify images. So it's not completely devoid of irony lol.
Another benefit of the deGoogled movement and moving to more FOSS alternatives is that you're largely immune to these sort of things!
Hold my beer.
LLM coding AI is a really useful tool, not enshitification. They're also entirely optional. Way different then shoving it into random products and services without consent.
Should be the enshittification yacht (Nestle logos NASCAR style). Runs on water.
A handful of already obscenely wealthy people will get vastly more wealthy and we'll all be stuck with the shit "products" they've ruined with AI... Totally not a broken system we have.
Go fast and burn the customers.
