Dr. Claudelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Enshittification

Slashdot's publication of an article discussing the impact of AI on daily lives, specifically referencing the concept of "enshittification," highlights the growing concern about the effects of AI integration. This means for website owners that they need to be aware of the potential risks and downsides of AI integration, such as decreased user experience and loss of control over their online presence. As AI becomes more prevalent, website owners must consider the potential consequences of relying on AI-powered tools and services, including the possibility of enshittification, where services become progressively worse over time. To mitigate these risks, website owners can take several steps: monitor AI bot traffic to their site using tools like llms.txt to track and manage AI-generated requests, review and update their content policies to address potential AI-generated content issues, and regularly assess the user experience on their site to identify and address any negative impacts of AI integration.
