I monitor the web extensively for my newsletter about the English language, and I have been rather depressed at the increase of content that has been generated by AI. This absolute gunk that has been generated to answer often-asked questions in Google to get hits and sell ads. This is the danger of AI, and the importance, I think. A flooding of our information channels with disinformation generated at the click of a button.

At the same time I am more optimistic than you are. I listen to a podcast called "What's your problem" about engineers and scientists who are coming up with technology-based solutions to humanity's problems. There's no stagnation there! Human beings remain flawed, but the technology around us might be able to help. I hope, anyway!

Thank you for your comment! I have perhaps been spending a little too long on the doom-mongering parts of the internet. Thanks for the podcast recommendation too!
