    Despite the popularity of 'Sips Tea,' many believe the internet is actually getting worse. And you don't need to look far for examples that support their case.

    Nowadays, online searches are largely made up of "cookie cutter" pages that drown out useful information and are saturated with scams and content generated by artificial intelligence (AI).

    While your social media feeds are full of eye-catching, provocative, hyper-targeted, or anger-inducing content, often with robot-like comments.

    Marc Cheong, who is a Senior Lecturer of Information Systems (Digital Ethics) at the School of Computing and Information Systems, and Associate Director at the Centre for AI and Digital Ethics (CAIDE) at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and Wonsun Shin, an Associate Professor in Media and Communications at the same establishment, believe that a major factor contributing to the current state of the internet is its over-commercialization. Simply put, financial motives drive much of the content. According to them, it has led to the prevalence of sensationalism and prioritizing virality over quality.

    Another driving force, the academics say, is the dominance of tech giants like Google, Meta, and Amazon. They reach billions worldwide and wield immense power over the content that we consume.

    "Their platforms use advanced tracking technologies and opaque algorithms to generate hyper-targeted media content, powered by extensive user data," Cheong and Shin explain in their article. "This creates filter bubbles, where users are exposed to limited content that reinforces their existing beliefs and biases, and echo chambers where other viewpoints are actively discredited."

    "Bad actors like cyber criminals and scammers have been an enduring problem online. However, evolving technology like generative AI has further empowered them, enabling them to create highly realistic fake images, deepfake videos, and voice cloning," Cheong and Shin added.

    A few years ago, I prepared food for my niece's wedding party so there was food for when they were all getting ready. We had two serving times, the first with breakfast type items and the second with heavier foods. We invited the photographers and makeup folks to eat whatever and whenever they wanted to; all seemed surprised and grateful. I had no idea there were people who didn't feed the folks who were there to help make their wedding day special.
