I don't disagree, there isn't exactly a test for abstract terms of bedlam and madness. So to whatever degree it already exists, AI will accelerate that an order of magnitude. It is the perfect tool to continue out the self destruction from our attention addiction.

The decay of internet and digital communication has been undeniably accelerating but this will push it to a level previously thought physically impossible.
The hill we're rolling down continually steepens and indeed is now very steep, but we're about to ignite a 1,000,000 ft-lb rocket booster with the engine nozzle pointed directly at the sky.
I mean, not to just be a jerk or trot out a tired cliche for the heck of it, the "internet" - particularly the web - has, IMO / IME, massively degraded in the past 5 - 7 years. And, unsurprisingly (given the nature of these sorts of processes, looked at either from a more "naive" statistical / distributional POV, or more mechanistically), the rate of degradation is swiftly / noticeably accelerating (i.e., d^2/dx^2 >> 0).
The flood of "AI" BS is just about the most apropos way to continue what's already in motion. A way that could hardly be more perfect - LLMs and the like can work 24/7/365 recursing infinitely until there's no information content left at all, just a "gray goo".
The dark hilarity of our "intelligence" is endlessly amusing to me (yet another stupid human).
