Neal Stephenson's novel Anathem briefly mentions something like this as part of the novel's worldbuilding.
Accelerando by Charles Stross has an even more prescient version where humanity dissembles the planets to make giant computers which end up being filled with sentient pyramid schemes.
I don't remember if Fall also talked about this; I only read it once, and don't remember too many details. But Anathem definitely did; here's an HN comment quoting it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14554765
The first act of Fall explicitly takes place in a world polarized into micro-groups because AI chatbots generate so much content that it's impossible to determine what's true. It might even talk about the initial act that started the practice, I forget.
