So the big corporations are all battening down the hatches. The walled gardens are becoming citadels, with training data forbidden from crossing the citadel walls.
Reddit have done a google-exclusive, Facebook have always had their walls as a feature even as they hate "friends only" posts really, Twitter closed down API access earlier in the year. You can't even view a user's timeline without a login now.
This means that the AI bots from each corporation in the future will be trained only on the data from it's own users.
You can see this with Twitter's bot already, returning bullshit like them all but it's that particular Twitter flavour of bullshit. Apparently it's been telling people Kamala isn't eligible.
So the Linked-In-Bot will be trained on the wannabe business professionals trying to sound inspiring for CV points.
The Facebook bot will be all Gen-Xers updating boomers about their kids lives, plus the conspiracies those boomer parents most fall for as they age info fascism.
The Reddit bot may be helpful but it's a troll when cornered and quite rude.
Your near-future AI-ridden sci-fi stories should have all the platform-users turned into tribes lead by their own conspiracy-mad average hive-mind, and the wars of the future aren't between nations but between the new platform religions that are mutually forbidden to communicate even while they work in the same city.
