The article argues that the internet lost some of its playfulness, and that AI products should avoid becoming a rigid “God Box.”
It points to early internet products like Facebook and TikTok as examples of playful origins that later became massive platforms, then asks why AI cannot similarly leave room for experimentation, creativity, and fun instead of only optimization and control.
