It also took years for the Internet to be usable by most folks. It was hard, expensive and unpractical for decades.

Just about the time it hit the mainstream coincidentally, is when the enshitification began to go exponential. Be careful what you wish for.

Allow me to clarify: I'm not wishing for change. I am an AI pessimist. I think our society is not prepared to deal with what's about to happen. You're right: AI is the key to the enshitification of everything, most of all trust.

Governments and companies have been pushing for identity management that connects your real life identity with your digital one for quite some time. With AI I believe that's not only a bad thing, maybe unavoidable now.
