I worry our Copilot is leaving some passengers behind

Because of the tools? No, of course not. Do the tools make enshitification easier and does the current incentive structures create an environment where I expect these types of tools to accelerate enshitification? Certainly. These are two very different things. I hope we can understand the difference because these types of details are important to prevent enshitification.

I am pretty sure enshitification is a specific process with a specific meaning, what you're talking about, quality going down for whatever reason you can just call "going to shit."

Let's not lose the useful concept enshitification is a pointer to by overloading the word :)

The inevitable enshitification of enshitification.

I don't think I'm really pushing the bounds here. The fast pace does help make things sticky. We love shiny new features. Even if it is just a polished turd. My worry is about more polished turds, which I think is pretty in line with enshitification since the de facto tech is reliant upon network effects. But I guess the thought is more general.

Words shift meanings and once you have coined something you lose control over it. Bitter sweet.
