I’d assume one step further, that the human-centric web isn’t what’s served to you, it’s just generative content created on the fly to suit your mood.

Why stop there. Let the AI consume the content too, and then every day it can just serve a report saying that it consumed 1024 pieces of content and that this led to an increase in its satisfaction level.

Lmao. No wonder Google fixed their bot views recently on YouTube. We're coming to this.

Oh, I just got this dystopian image in my mind where you don't even talk about memes from content made by humans anymore and all you get are weird themes inserted into your custom generated content.

So just like how we don't watch the same thing at the same time anymore due to on-demand media, and the talking about yesterday's big TV show is only a thing of the past now. It will be one more step removed from that and you will have kids talking about this random thing that appeared in their custom show yesterday. Conversations like "dude, did you also get that singing toilet in your stream yesterday, what was that about".
