Is it possible that in the end humanity will decide that the internet just isn't worth it?
Today's 'future shock' over conversant AI is just the leading edge of discovering another form of semi-human intelligence in the world. We'll adapt to it fairly soon, and realize that it's actually less interesting than an intelligent child. It's a fake human. Once we 'grok' that, we'll begin to look past it as a mere robot, just a tool. It will become a utility, a service, but not a friend. It's not human and it never will be.
Who wants to play for long with a robot?
You're assuming the robot's conversational capabilities remain constant over time.
Similar for deep fakes, very cool, but really limited in actual practical applications.
I remember first playing with Midjourney and Dall-E 2, it was pretty cool but I'm over it.
If you dare, take a look at r/Replika, which had to post suicide help line resources after Replika was updated to no longer allow sex chatting. And that population skews heavily younger, likely confounding variables of growing up in the digital age, plus helicopter parenting, plus pandemic.
