@AnnemarieBridy One prediction that seems to be coming true is in Neal Stephenson's "Anathem" -- which strictly speaking isn't futurist, it's more of a parallel Earth. But also in the future -- in which their internet-equivalent is overwhelmingly dominated by "bogons": dis- and mis- information generated by an ancient and ineradicable ecosystem of autonomous, at least semi-AI bots. The principal occupation of this world's IT class is filtering all this out.

I didn't quite buy it until recently, after learning that even without what we're pleased to call AI, approaching 50% of all internet traffic is bots.
