Enshittification is about maximizing revenue, typically in a way that destroys your product. Examples are ads on subscription video streaming services. Another good example is how some music artists say no to getting paid by Spotify and Spotify then suggests those songs more and collects the money that would have gone to that artist.

How the fuck is AI going to do anything about that? Are we talking Skynet, end of the world type thing? That should do it.

One of the reasons it's a bad word - it was inevitably going to just be used by people to mean "this thing I personally don't like", which is useless as a term of discussion.
