Will the internet survive for humans?

Digital Media is overrun by AI

It's far worse than people realise.

Current State:

• Estimates suggest 70% of social media content may already be AI-influenced or generated

• Engagement metrics that determine what to show you are heavily manipulated by AI systems

Key Problems:

• Distorts genuine human discourse

• Makes it harder to find authentic human connections

• Creates artificial consensus and trends

Impact on Human Users:

• Cognitive exhaustion from trying to distinguish real from artificial

• Decreased trust in online interactions

• Reduced authentic engagement

• Growing sense of disconnection despite "connection"

Human Exclusion

The internet will be over-run by AI, rendering it almost incomprehensible to humans.

Let me expand:

Processing Speed Mismatch

• AIs operate infinitely faster then humans

• More and more AI is being connected to the internet

• This result in an exponential growth in online data.

• Online interactions happen too fast for human comprehension

• Like trying find and then read a book in a huge, everchanging and ever increasing library, where the books are continually edited in real time.

Potential Solutions

• Creating protected "slow spaces" for human interaction

• Developing AI-free zones or networks

• Using personal AI guardians to filter and protect human spaces

Ultimately, I believe we need to relearn personal interaction.
