Enshittifaication

I've come across this a few times and each time I think I've shared this but I haven't. So here we are, enshittifaication, a play on enshittification (see also Androidification), Stefano Marinelli recounts a few instances of how AI breaks down any attempt at communication between people.

The enormous problem with my work these days is the extreme confidence that certain companies project, replacing humans - even senior ones - with AI, with no right of appeal. The result is monstrous confusion, enormous wasted time for everyone, and a widespread erosion of reliability, all papered over by the AI's unshakeable assertiveness - and by those who believe these systems are the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

I've had my fair share of interactions with people who insist on certain decisions with no basis other than "an AI told me so".
