One thing I like about the current AI craze is that several services start to provide user-oriented services again, like 90s and 00s. Search engine for AI returning only relevant results (no ads and promotions), online stores showing only relevant items, news articles in non-clickbait, clear and concise style.

I'm not confident the current AI craze will be net positive for humanity. But one possible good outcome could be that many people prefer simple chat UI to interact with services, most companies have to adopt them and are forced to provide simple, straight, no-nonsense content instead of what they want to sell, while LLMs are just commodity so unnamed Chinese companies can provide models as good as the one from the most VC-funded company so they can't enshittify the UX.
