Is the internet destined for failure?

[Spicy Nug]

Maybe it’s just me but with AI feels like the final nail in the coffin for the internet as we know it.

The spam of the 90s and 2000s and then with companies making the internet sterile, well that was all bad enough. But with this AI stuff not only are people paranoid about everyone else being an AI bot but websites are too.

Some days I don’t even want to run an online business just because the internet feels inhospitable. It’s like the stress of being online isn’t even worth it now.

Yeah but change is the only constant

 

[Fudge Brownie]

I think the way it current is then yeah it's destined for failure.

There's no fun online and the only use it had before where it was a hub of info is going away because of AI and spam.

No, you just don't understand the internet.

You think top sites producing biggest revenue are gonna stop at the slop level.

Haha, I'm a visionary and I have 50 visions for the internet in the future.

Do your visionary work and you will see there's gonna be abundance of experiences.

Maybe you won't like it, but majority of people will. i


I have good time on the internet these days. If your products are behind AI and revolution, naturally it's stressful. Use fcking AI to the limit and be savage!

And apply damn AI in real life too.

Stop making anti-AI threads. It's pointless. It's too late. You're living in a different world than 5 years ago. Get used to it.

Stop complaining about revolution and evolution. It's like complaining your kids change and other things. Everything fcking changes. And you can make a million on it.

It's gone downhill for sure. Been a problem before AI became more popular.

Google's algo rewards websites and pages with nonsense and fluff before giving you anything actually relevant to your search. And thats after scrolling past the AI search summary and dozens of ads and sponsored positions.

Try and search "how to install a toilet" , and the top ranking pages will say they'll help but before that, here's 2k words on the history of the toilet, an essay on survey results on how people prefer to wipe and how to say toilet in 37 different languages, and then you'll get the actual instructions your looking for.

Shitty query, shitty results.

I'd not install toilet using Google but rather well... watch a YouTube video at least, then ask another human for help. And maybe query LLM.

Google isn't a solution to all problems. It's a bad one for doing real life work. Always been.

It's a hypothetical example on what the typical searches look like, not a literal one.
I already know how to install a toilet. Don't need google or youtube for that.

You'll have to stop blaming solutions and the world around if you want to increase sales and business.

Not being able to generate more sales comes from our misunderstanding of the world. Sales don't drop because of AI. They drop because your product doesn't match changing, evolving market.

Ask Robert Kiyosaki about it. Ask other entrepreneurs how it works. They'll explain to you... blame yourself, not the game and find solutions.

If you don't like what happens on the internet and it's hard to understand right now, you can take a break and admit the great internet upgrade has happened and understand that upgrade. Then play on updated version with updated knowledge.

What's unsettling about the AI era isn't only the flood of generated content. It's the erosion of trust. Users wonder if they're talking to bots, websites treat legitimate visitors like potential scrapers, and everyone gets stuck behind CAPTCHAs, verification checks, and suspicion.
