      Ad supported articles is a dead industry, Google realizes this better than anyone. People don’t go to the source anymore to answer curiosities, why would you read a whole article to answer a simple question when AI gives you the answer directly?

          They won’t, and I’m saying Google knows that their Advertising cash cow is running out of milk.

        context?, nuance?, verifying the AI slop?

          The last thing I googled is how to measure dress shirt size. Do you need context and nuance for everything you Google?

          Do you prefer to click on the seo optimized first page results that are full of ads and read through a nonsense article about elegance in formal wear just to get to the instructions on where to place the measuring tape on your shoulder? I MUCH prefer the AI summarized response.

          Most of the Internet is NOT intellectual writing, it’s blog spam to answer your daily curiosities and practical needs. A sufficienty trained model is a really good (and environmentally friendly) alternative.

            if AI is answering, yes.

            Do you prefer to click on the seo optimized first page results that are full of ads and read through a nonsense article…

            No, but that’s not what i claimed so you can have your strawman back

            Let me know when we get one. In the meantime, enjoy your thick, glue riddled, pizza sauce
