Initially, platforms attract users with excellent services and incentives, but over time, they prioritize profit maximization, leading to the exploitation of both users and business customers. Doctorow describes a three-step process: Initial User Attraction, Exploitation of Business Customers, and Maximization of Shareholder Value. The screen also shows the ChatGPT sidebar on the left with various GPT options like Graphic Tale Maker, JavaScript Code Streamliner, R Code Streamliner, PCS v1, among others.

🤖 Screen capture of the Web Browsing Chatbot interface within the ChatGPT application, showing an extended discussion on Cory Doctorow’s concept of “enshittification,” which extends to tech giants like Google and Twitter. The text explains how Google, initially known for its clean and effective search results, has increasingly filled search pages with ads and sponsored content. Twitter, especially under Elon Musk, has faced criticism for changes that prioritize profitability over user experience, such as restricting API access and pushing more ads. There is a concern that AI might follow a similar path, offering impressive capabilities initially but prioritizing profit over user benefit as it becomes integral to various applications, leading to a decline in service quality and ethical standards. The discussion suggests transparency and regulation as means to prevent AI enshittification. The capture also includes links to Doctorow’s articles, podcasts, and comprehensive discussions on WNYC Studios and O’Reilly Media. On the left sidebar, various previous chat topics are listed, including “Research and Paper Synthesis,” “Recent Article Summary,” “Murder Mystery Suspect Summary,” and “David GR Loves Cycling.” A user query about the chatbot’s author and the chatbot’s response explaining its creation by David G. R., who owns the website Talking to Chatbots, is visible at the bottom.
