I look forward to a day when the internet is so uniformly fraudulent that we can set it aside and return to the physical plane.

I don't know if I look forward to it, myself, but yeah: I can imagine a future where in person interactions become preferred again because at least you trust the other person is human. Until that also stops being true, I guess.
There's a fracking cylon on Discovery!
Well, I can tell you I've been reading a lot more books now. Ones published before the 2020s, or if recent, written by authors who were well established before then.
Physical books are amazing technology.
I've started suspecting I'm looking back of the day where that happened.
Because nobody ever lied in print media or in person?
What we are seeing is the consequence of a formerly high trust society collapsing into a low trust one. There is no place to hide from that. The Internet is made of the same stuff as print media and in person. It’s made of people.
The internet didn’t cause this. It just reflects it.
The LLMs are made of people too inasmuch as that’s where they get their training data and prompts.
