AI and the Enshittification of Everything


Listen Later

Remember when the internet felt fun, helpful—even inspiring? Yeah, us too.

But lately? It's feeling more like a digital junk drawer.

In this episode of Duped, we're talking about enshittification—what it is, how it shows up in your feed, and how AI is making it worse.

From AI-generated garbage content to platforms prioritizing profits over people, we're breaking down how it all got so bad—and what we can do about it.

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • What is enshittification and some examples.

  • How AI is accelerating enshittification

  • Is AI the villain? Or can it be used responsibly?

  • The real-world impact on consumers and business owners

  • What to watch for with AI enshittification
