The problem is that content is dead. You can’t find answers any more on Google because every website is ai generated and littered with ads.

YouTube videos aren’t much better. Minutes of fluff are added to hit a juicy 10 minute mark so you can see more ads.

The internet is a dead place.

The problem isn't that content is AI generated, the problem is that the content is generated to maximize ad revenue (or some other kind of revenue) rather than maximize truth and usefulness. This has been the case pretty much since the Internet went commercial. Google was in a lot of ways created to solve this problem and it's been a constant struggle.

The problem isn't AI, the problem is the idea that advertising and PR markets are useful tools for organizing information rather than vaguely anarchist self-organizing collectives like Wikipedia or StackOverflow.

I have zero belief that AI won't follow this trend as well
