The last time I was really excited by tech was in the 90s, when game graphics improved spectacularly over a period of a few years, from Wolfenstein in 1992 to Half-Life in 1998.

Along the way people invented the 3D GPU: https://fabiensanglard.net/3dfx_sst1/

But AI? To me, AI means the replacement of the human internet with doppelgangers eroding the possibility of human connection.

Erosion of human connection over the internet which may be a good thing

That was an exciting time, but I didn't think of it happening over a few years. IMO there was a hard line that was basically pre and post Voodoo cards (with the help of glQuake).

I get where you're coming from, and I've minimised having my face online in order to limit being doppelganged; but I think the destruction of real human connection may have happened when Facebook et al switched from "get more users" to "be addictive so the users stay on our site longer" (2012? Not sure).

Turned every user's relationships a little bit more parasocial, a little less real.

Like Amazon killed the big book sellers giving back some space for small bookshops; I think LLM slop will hit the big social media space for smaller human focused community sites. Not saying forums are coming back, but something like those should be able to rise.
