Power usage probably won't be a major issue; the main take-home message of the Deepseek brouhaha is that training and inference can be much more efficiently than we had thought (our estimates had been based on well-funded Western companies that didn't have to bother with optimization).
AI spam is an annoyance, but it's not really AI-specific but the continuation of a trend; the Internet was already drowning in human-created slop before LLMs came along. At some point, we will probably all have to rely on AI tools to filter it out. This isn't something that can be unwound, any more than you can undo computers being able to play chess well.
