Enshitification of AI

This week we will be calling on Journalist and SciFi writer Cory Doctrow's concept of Enshitification as it pertains to AI. Bring your best predictions of how Enshitification and unintended consequences of AI will affect us in the coming decades.

Enshittification is a pattern where online services and products experience a decline in quality over time. It is observed as platforms transition through several stages: initially offering high-quality services to attract users, then shifting to favor business customers to increase profitability, and finally focusing on maximizing profits for shareholders at the expense of both users and business customers. This process results in a significant deterioration of the user experience. A variety of platforms have been described as examples of this, including Airbnb, Amazon, Facebook, Google Search, Twitter, Bandcamp, YouTube, Reddit, Quora, Uber, and Unity. --plagirized from Wikipedia.
