I think you need to self-correct here, because otherwise you'll be ineffective in an information setting, where I expect AI-generated resources will not only be the norm, they will absolutely swamp the environment.

AI-generated resources swamping the information environment only makes it more important to have the mental mechanisms for quickly filtering out their non-information.

    Yeah I don't think the solution to a flood of useless information is to try and digest more of it.

      I'm not saying digest it, I'm saying be able to scan it/skim it/move on, but ignoring it won't help.

      Perhaps we'll all become metaphorical pandas, spending 14 hours a day ingesting nutrient-poor bamboo. (And producing a proportionate amount of excrement ourselves.)

      I hope not.
