Wendy NatherTheory (which is mine) (and what it is, too): Enshittification has led directly to acceptance of LLMs, because the public is already used to software that is unfit for purpose.

Yep. Search engines too: people used to search for an answer, now they ask an LLM. They didn't start doing it because they wanted a machine to think for them, they started because they stopped getting useful search results.

And the SEO'd webpages you get bury the info you want in a ton of ads and other BS.
Currently the AI answer is quick, easy, and not yet enshittified.
So what are people going to choose?
