Are there any sci-fi books anticipating the current hellscape? Namely the advance in algorithms that

Surely this will end well. It's great when white collar jobs don't exist anymore in the middle of a crisis. It's grLuddites were wrong during the industrial revolution since it eventually made the world better and more advanced - though you should read Tess D'Ubervilles for an opposing, nostalgic view of ye old time agriculture with dances and rape.

What AI is doing right now is massacring white collar jobs in the middle of a ww3. Plus, it's not making anything on its own, it's openly stealing written and drawn content and warping it to make a handful of oligarchs a boatload of cash. There is zero alternative, zero advancement and zero improvement. Those who get the content for free instead of paying, 50-100 bucks for it might feel like things are moving in the right direction, until they take a look at the world around them.eat when Big Tech can take other people's assets and paragraphs and merge them in oh so original package that their algorithms can shit out on the web.

I know PKD was prescient about microtransactions, but I don't think he covered any of this.
