If I stop and think about what the internet is to me in 2023: it's a large, large, large collection of low quality writing/journalism about niche topics that just reiterates existing information.

So... in my mind, we already live in a ChatGPT world here.

The only difference is we are no longer limited by the physical number of human blogger/journalists/content creators (Lord help us). The existing gulf between social media fodder and capital J Journalism will probably continue to grow, and content curation and personal taste will matter all the more.

I for one cannot begin to fathom an internet with exponentially more content to further dilute the fixed amount of insight.

Perhaps I will go out and buy a newspaper.
