> An internet with less ads, more genuine information. If AI will lead to this next phase of the internet

How is AI supposed to create an internet "with more genuine information", based on what we have seen so far? These two statements appear to be mutually exclusive.

If I understand correctly, it will be not by creating a new iteration, but by destroying the current one.

  • We are in agreement that AI will destroy the current one. I don't see how the new iteration that AI would produce would have "more genuine information" seeing as how LLMs are just predicting what word follows the previous word. How is that genuine?

    • The current state of the internet brought the Fediverse, a new breed of social network(s) that, by design, has evaded corporate/government/salesmen capture so far.

      Nevertheless, I can't say if the Fediverse will become irreversibly captured using new tactics. If that happens, a new iteration will happen.
