But this is also true about books, movies, music, products, corporations, etc., etc.
Everything really...
The thing is though, that the other 0.01% of the Internet (and the other 0.01% of everything else) -- are the proverbial "diamonds in the rough" -- the things that have great value...
But you gotta search to find them...
You know, "seek and ye shall find", "leave no stone unturned", etc., etc.
Ironically, Google's search engine, whose main rise to fame was caused by too little information on the Internet -- is now completely overwhelmed with too much crappy/spammy/subprime/agenda-based/advertising/biased/subpar/TL;DR/unnecessary information.
In other words, we've went from "too thin" to "too fat", from not enough information to too much information...
Google Search Engine's primary virtue -- its ability to find things on the Internet -- has now become its Achilles' Heel, information-wise...
(And I say that as a great fan of Google! At least at this point in time, 2024, i.e., from 1999-2024 -- the first 25 years of the company!)
Perhaps I'm guessing (as opposed to knowing), but I would say that the rise of ChatGPT (and other AI LLM online chat systems) was at least caused in part by too much information.
Think of ChatGPT -- not as a futuristic scary AI (although it could certainly become that too!) -- but as a more human-friendly filter (and that's the keyword, "filter") of information -- than the Google Search Engine is or ever was...
And that's what we need right now more than anything else -- intelligent filters to block out too much information...
The upcoming problem is (or will be!) -- since censorship and intelligent information filtering are twin siblings and run very similar parallel paths -- how do we distinguish one from the other?
How do we permit one, but not the other?
How do we permit intelligent information filtering, but not permit censorship?
You see, there's a very fine line between the two!
A very fine line!
What are we going to do, have a programmer code for what that line is? Have a 3rd party AI determine that exact line? Have a/the government(s) decide what that is?
?
It is or will be a future problem with no easy answer no apparent solution -- and it is starting to form as of this current day!
Perhaps the original unfiltered Google Search of 20+ years ago -- is not looking all that bad in comparison! :-)
