The term "enshittification" is being used to describe a perceived decline in the quality and user experience of AI models and platforms. This concept, popularized by Cory Doctorow, suggests a pattern where platforms initially offer good service to attract users, then exploit those users, and finally exploit the platform's creators. In the context of AI, this could manifest as models becoming less capable, more restrictive, or more expensive over time, potentially impacting the open-source community and user accessibility. AI
