The Rise of Digital Pollution

Generative AI is contributing to a significant increase in low-quality content online, fundamentally altering the internet's landscape. The technology generates vast amounts of shallow, clickbait-driven material, which is often recycled and fed back into the system, creating a cycle of digital pollution. This degradation affects not only the accuracy of information available but also makes it increasingly challenging to find genuine and reliable content. As a result, users find themselves navigating a digital environment that feels more like a landfill of misinformation than a resource for knowledge.
