60% of internet traffic is generated by machines communicating with each other. They distribute views, comments, and likes. They rate products and services. This obstructs public debate, influences humans, and therefore hinders democracy. It causes massive pollution because it consumes enormous amounts of electricity for computing and cooling servers. This makes the internet unusable. Development is designed to suit machines and makes websites slow for humans. Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a necessary intermediary. For example, AI goes to Amazon and places orders. AI reads newspapers and provides information. AI consults your personal calendar and makes appointments with your doctor’s AI, sending it your first and last name, address, and social security number. This seems extremely practical. But we must not forget that it is the manufacturers who choose where the information comes from and which commercial websites the user sees. They are the ones who promote certain websites, for example by hiding pages that explain how to repair equipment in order to encourage the purchase of new equipment. AI is like a servant because it provides a service to the user, but what it does and what it looks for serves the interests of manufacturers, and on top of that, it repeats everything it learns about the user. It’s like a tour guide who helps tourists find a restaurant but takes them to restaurants where he gets a commission, not to the restaurant that would suit them best. AI only makes suggestions based on probabilities: for example, that after a certain word, there is a certain word, or that with this image, there is this comment. It is based on countless pieces of content and therefore appears to be accurate information. It produces content that looks good, but humans do a better job. Humans have a sense of right and wrong, good and evil, and empathy for others. But if humans use AI, they use their brains and communication with other humans less, thereby d…
