Meme pages and other "aggregate" accounts reveal a flaw in the internet in that credit is rarely attributed to the original content owner. This is unrelated to AI specifically.
You'll have an account "Amazing science". You follow it and it does post interesting videos. You believe the account provides a valuable service.
In reality, these accounts never credit the original source, and even if they do, in a disconnected way. The actual person that made the content does not get the views, likes, reshares, and follows.
It's all done under the disguise of "fair use" but it's a great injustice that these accounts profiteer from effectively "stealing" content. Or at least stealing exposure.
And yes, AI would be the next evolution to make the production of original content increasingly pointless.
