I'm afraid that in the future, making money online will become impossible or risky due to competition. The reason is that algorithms will only promote corporate content, and AI moderation and algorithms will monitor everything. The dead internet theory is no longer a theory, it's almost a reality.

ITT: People asking whether AI “can do” your job, as if that’s the same question the bosses are asking.

Bosses are not trying to replace 30 workers with 1 person using AI in order to get the job done.

They’re replacing 30 workers with 1 person using AI who will ultimately fail to get the job done, because it’s impossible to thoroughly review 30 workers’ worth of output. Then that 1 person takes the blame, gets fired, and replaced.

AI cannot successfully replace workers. But it doesn’t have to successfully replace them, as long as it can profitably replace them.

Ok but 1 person can often review at least 2 people's worth of work and that's still half the workforce. Why would we only care in your hyperbolic example of 30x reduction and not 2x reduction?
