I like to think that a lot of the current internet is just going to die and we will return to more in person interaction. And I think awareness of this is continuously rising. Terms like "chronically offline", talking about quitting social media, reducing phone use, etc are hot right now. But I'm still yet to see awareness and talk convert to action. People are as addicted to social media as they ever have been. We just widely recognize much like junk food and cigarettes where we know it's bad but keep doing it anyway.

What I'm fairly confident of is people will not just enjoy being deceived in to talking to bots. We have seen this before, companies and customer service platforms have been using templated messages to imitate real human conversation for a while. When you load a website and the Intercom chat box pops up with a message that looks like a real person from the company is trying to talk to you, initially it might have worked but very quickly you learn it's fake and tune it out.
