I mean it’s already happened. Original sources on the web have died out tremendously over the past couple years because no one is being driven to random peoples’ webpages by search engines anymore. Try to use any search engine, even non-AI ones, to find new bits of info that isn’t AI slop is very difficult because it just isn’t there anymore. Why make the effort if no one is going to find it?
