Question: Are Big Tech companies digging their own grave with AI in the long term? Like, will we reach a point where there's such an overabundance of digital stuff that people no longer see value in it, and no one, not even Big Tech, can monetize it?

    they're probably cementing their positions, because they will be the only ones who can monetize it (not by selling it, but by selling the user data etc)

    I think the user data will be spammed and spoiled by ai-input as well, so it's value will probably become less and less, once people realise, the data is full of ai-slop. But we will see, whether ai will survive in the first place, since it's not sustainable (yet) as a business model in the first place. So maybe most of these companies will not exist long enough to be their own pallbearer...

    it's the googles and the facebooks that will probably rise from the ashes, since they have the users :/
