Maybe (?) that's controversial but "human connection" is not the first thing that comes to my mind when I consider what I'm consuming online.
So losing the humanity of the internet sucks but I can find way to work around it.
What I mean by that is when you looked back at content from 5+ years ago, you know that a real person wrote, drew, recorded, thought of, put effort into it.
We had interconnectedness, and as human beings, we really should do what it takes to not lose that.
There will be no more looking at photography, artwork, music, or movies as a marvel of human effort, skill, and talent. To me, that's a huge loss.
When you read a blog years ago, you were reading another person's experience, and that had value.
Information from a resource was researched and had input from an expert human being, and/or a team of them. That had value.
Online? If so, how long do you think you can sustain it? If the majority of the internet or digital content you see becomes AI generated, with no way of knowing, what then? Will you invest time to use a future Lemmy where your interactions are probably all with bots?
I've been consuming content from a detached rehashed business position long before AI were a thing.
I've never felt the "human touch" in, say, a Marvel movie.
And when I mentioned workarounds I meant offline, as one does.
