We’ll have to kitbash something frail and new as (drawing vague analogy from @cstross’ “Accelerando”) we languish in the boonies with discarded instantiations of Lovecraft, watching as something vast, dark, and inscrutable devours the sun to feed its endless, fecund need to vomit forth paperclips.

NBC News: Bot web traffic has overtaken human web traffic, data shows. “Website traffic from AI agents and bots has eclipsed its human-generated counterpart for the first time, according to Cloudflare, an earlier-than-expected milestone that speaks to AI’s rapid advance and impact.”

Promised an age of superconnectivity, we’ve let our shared physical spaces wither, only to find our promised digital commons to be one large billboard increasingly read and created by bots.

.. so begins this thought provoking article..
.. and they go further..

Let’s be honest: your AI slop bores me. 🥱 In a world drowning in synthetic media and generative algorithms, the soul of human creativity is being buried under a mountain of low-effort content. This design is a rallying cry for originality and a middle finger to the dead internet theory.

Stop settling for algorithmic prompts and start supporting human-made designs. It’s time to move past the digital decay and bring back real artistic expression. ✍️✨
