Okay, so there's a sense in which AI essentially destroys knowledge culture by performing a reductio-ad-absurdam on it.
Examples:
1) Social content. We start with friend feeds (FB), they become algorithmic, and eventually are replaced entirely with algorithmic recommendations (Tiktok), which escalate in an AI-fuelled arms race creating increasingly compulsive generated content (or an AI manipulates people into generating that content for it). Regardless, it becomes apparent that the eventual infinitely engaging result is bad for humans.
2) Social posting. It becomes increasingly impossible to distinguish a bot from a human on Twitter et al. People realise that they're spending their time having passionate debates with machines whose job it is to outrage them. We realise that the chance of someone we meet online being human is 1/1000 and the other 999 are propaganda-advertising machines so sophisticated that we can't actually resist their techniques. [Arguably the world is going so totally nuts right now because this is already happening - the tail is wagging the dog. AI is creating a culture which optimises for AIs; an AI-Corporate Complex?]
3) Art and Music. These become unavoidably engaging. See 1 and 2 above.
This can be applied to any field of the knowledge economy. AI conducts an end-run around human nature - in fact huge networks of interacting AIs and corporations do it, and there are three possible outcomes:
1) We become inured to it, and switch off from the internet.
2) We realise in time how bad it is, but can't trust ourselves, so we ban it.
3) We become puppets driven by intelligences orders of magnitude more sophisticated than us to mine resources in order to keep them running.
History says that it would really be some combination of the above, but AI is self-reinforcing, so I'm not sure that can be relied upon. We may put strong limits on the behaviour and generality of AIs, and how they communicate and interact.
There will definitely be jobs in AI reeducation and inquisition; those are probably already a thing.
