on one hand we should not be ascribing personally to next-word-predictors but on the other it can be pretty entertaining when we do

...Remind me what this "industry" actually produces?

That's true, but only juuuuust enough to keep the advertisers paying. There is no incentive for a monopoly like Google to provide better service for their customers (their customers are the advertisers) than the bare minimum, since they have no meaningful competition.

Actually, the advertisers lose too, this is just a way to get people to search more than once so advertisers dollars don't go as far.

lol this is a great example of how humans can post slop too thank you for illustrating

I don't see how slop could kill "the internet", but it is already redefining if not outright killing the big social media platforms. The fediverse is probably safe because instances that allow slop (or struggle to moderate it) would just get defederated same as any other spam/trolls.

humans: let's evolve to be really good at predicting. let's just evolve the ability to OBSESS over anything but present in the moment
