@mcc one thing that gives me hope is that we are reaching an inflection point on internet curatorship, in which AI is so pervasive that you have to actually dig into internet archives to find valuable information.

This gives me the impression that we are looking into a future that yes, AI will be very pervasive, but niche communities built on trust and self-curatorship (stuff like Web Rings) will be more common. Users will look for stuff written by humans, not AI.
