First on today's show.
In today's digital age, artificial intelligence or AI doesn't just generate content.
It multiplies low quality noise at an alarming rate.
The more AI scrapes from the web, the more it learns to churn out shallow clickbait driven junk.
As this garbage floods the Internet, it gets recycled and fed back into the system, creating a dangerous feedback loop of digital pollution.
Also, finding something real on the Internet is becoming increasing increasingly difficult.
While the web is hardly ever a perfect space for genuine connection and knowledge, at least the content was rooted in reality before generative AI.
Now it often feels like a digital landfill where bad content breeds more bad content, further distorting the information landscape.
