In a thousand years, will historians regard today as the digital dark ages?
Considering the proliferation of AI-generated slop, as well as the lines between satire and reality being blurred, I wonder if future historians will have a harder time understanding what was really going on.

My oh my. Check out Mr. Optimist over here thinking that they'll be time to be "historians" in between scavenging for scraps and battling the nuclear mutants for the last bottle of fresh water at the bombed out Tesco.
The earth will be too hot to live on in less than 50 years, so yeah... Mr. Optimist indeed.
Well la-dee-dah! Look at Mr. "I think humans will still exist in 1000 years" over here. Let's be real, we're on track to extinct ourselves in the next 200 years if we don't make some very difficult and dramatic changes to our behavior.
200 years? lmao, look everyone, this guy thinks our planet will support human life for another 200 years. At best another 80.
I mean, not to be captain optimist here, but human extinction is a bit far. Humans are extremely adaptable, even if they have to carve out a niche in the worst case hellscape they will survive.
Might not exactly be comfortable.
You speak the tru tru
The oil runs out in another 30 or 40; things are going to fall apart pretty quickly after that, when we won't be able to get enough food in to maintain cities.
If we're stupid to the point of fault. Even market pressure would force diversification of clean energy
I know, I'm being generous with that 200.
I was scanning, and thought you said we'd be battling nuclear mutants for the last bottle of Tabasco.
I don't know which version is more probable.
