So you’re saying the ad driven internet will die? And we will be left with what? Wikipedia and Lemmy? I for one welcome our AI overlords!
Nah, it’s saying that ad and AI-driven internet will prevail. People only use Google to find an answer and don’t dig deeper, and if they do, it’s often because the links are sponsored. People using GPT’s are even less likely to click a link. Currently no ads, but just wait.
Apologies if you were joking.
Normies get AI slop, prosumer uses local llm...
Not sure about social media... Normie is allergic to reading anything beyond daddy's propaganda slop. If it ain't rage bait, he ain't got time for it
Home grown slop is still slop. The lying machine can't make anything else.
At least my idiocy ain't training the enemy.
Also, AI ain't there to be correct. AI is there to help you get something done if you already know the outcome mostly.
It can really turbo charge a Linux experience for example.
Also local is way less censored and can be tweaked ;)
