Did you forget allowing the sum total of human knowledge to be swamped by dogshit, because it allows for the creation of dogshit at scale more cheaply than ever before?

Once content generation has been completely commoditized the platforms relying on user submitted content will collapse under the sheer weight of AI generate trash. Part spam, part DDoS, the bad will drive out the good until we settle at some even lower equilibrium than we are at now. There will be a strong incentive to find solutions with technology and regulation to determine who the actual humans are on the internet.
