The future of the internet without some sort of deliberate intervention:
A gray goo of AI generated pseudo-content, where original texts, artworks, and other human made cultural artifacts are only displayed in pay-walled gardens.
Tough luck.
You might as well thank corporations in advance for their hostile takeover of our cultural heritage. We dressed our data up real nice before taking it for a stroll in the digital commons, and the insatiable bastards kidnapped it and are having their way with it.

It’s like in the AI generated art scene. A lot of artists don’t want to submit their art for AI. It’s like handing over their piece of work to “upgrade” the AI that corporations are making.

"Upload your art to our platform", they said. "You will reach new audiences and increase your sales."
Later that day: "If you didn't want us to sell your labor to AI factory owners, you shouldn't have uploaded your work to our platform. This is on you."

Yeah, this comment really nailed it. The first few decades of the internet were amazing for the amount of free expression and communication that was encouraged, up until the point that corporations realized they could not only scrape and monetize all that data through targeted advertising, but also create ML algorithms that could utilize those datasets to generate limitless content.
