Surely the #AIbubble will lead to the shittiest of enshittifications.
Massive capital over investment enabled by nuts speculation will mean a bunch of players going out of business, contraction of competition and a need to make back a heap of money to pay for it all.
Businesses which have gutted their workforce and now rely acutely on these tools will be vulnerable and unable to pivot, and just have to pony up the increasingly large fees.

@allsumnull Maybe it'll be the same as the Facebook thing (can't recall if it was Zuck?) saying newsrooms needed to pivot to video and text/journalism was dead. Many newsrooms did and then they died, creating a vacuum for social-media to fill. When AI fails it'll be similar, bigger companies that told people to pivot will just fill the void, supported by consulting companies that just the week before were extolling the virtues of XYZ. Theres money to be made either way.
