Search engines, I guess. No I won't elaborate, mostly because I have no confidence.
I'm already using ChatGPT to replace 80% of my Google searches. No sponsored bullshit. Yet.
Talk about being part of the problem.
Not defending this, but it’s annoying because Google and all search engines results are being poisoned by AI written slop. It seems like LLMs may provide a better search experience, but it’s also the thing ruining the search experience.
I don’t really know what I’m talking about, but I imagine if AI slop is ruining search, it will also start to ruin itself when the current slop is used to train future LLMs. Basically I think AI will short circuit itself long term.
Now, will it short circuit itself enough for Microsoft to stop shoving it down our throats, probably not.
