The only way this may happen is when the internet were to be somehow destroyed.

Which would not be all too bad. It would also mean the end of stupid SaaS subscription services, and mass surveillance, adtech. And shitty propaganda.

And your local AI could emulate the good parts of the internet.

People did not live in social isolation before the internet existed.

In fact, it was closer to the opposite.

Why are you here, instead of having your AI emulate HN locally?

Propaganda would still propagate through more closed networks. There's propaganda on TV. And at the bus stop.
