While I mostly agree with your assessment, I am still not convinced of this part. Right now, it may be making our lives marginally better. But once the enshittification starts to set in, I think it has the potential to make things a lot worse.
E.g. I think the advertisement industry will just love the idea of product placements and whatnots into the AI assistant conversations.
*good*. the answer to this is legislation —- legally, stop allowing shitty ads everywhere all the time. I hope these problems we already have are exacerbated by the ease of generating content with LLMs and people actually have to think for themselves again
