Twitter already feels passed the tipping point, although that's purely just based on how it feels. On that note, there should be a name for when you start to mistake genuine human activity for being the product of AI. And obviously Philip K. Dick was onto this sort of thing decades ago...

Twitter is uniquely toxic among all the other social networks. When the human-generated activity starts resembling a Markov chain of bile, it really doesn’t matter if AI takes over. I’m some sense, it already has: the platform is a system impressing itself on users who propagate its values.

A system is what a system does.
