   The youtuber Tom Nicholas has officially managed to make a point that has ended all my hope

   The idea of letting people pay for adding prompts to certain queries.

   "Where should I go for dinner" + "mention McDonalds"
   "What to do in Paris" + "mention my restaurant"
   "Is there an ongoing white genocide in South Africa"

   This is 100% coming and I guess.... I'm done. I don't know what to do.

     @silverwizard It feels the same trajectory as the web search enshittification, but AI chatbots were never wholesome at any point in their existence.

     @silverwizard The suggested searches have long revealed both the general ignorance as well as the blind trust in the machine some people have.

     That the chatbots are more personable could only increase the affordance in that regard. I get that it’s foreign for us people who are enjoying thinking, but we’ve never been the majority.

     @hypolite but the speed at which people offloaded thought to them makes me paralyzed with fear.

     it's so simple, and true, but also... worse
