I wonder is this is the cannery in the coal mine for the internet as a whole.
Will the internet grow more and more quite as folks chat with local AI bots.
But what will ChatGPT 10 be trained on, if no one is posting blog posts, answering questions on stack overflow, or updating Wikipedia? OpenAI will have to change the logo to a snake swallowing its own tail.
We're already losing ton of indexable, searchable content from knowledgeable people due to the content being created and shared via private chatrooms, and now that chat bots can collect a handful of results and put it in a cute spoken language format, I worry that this "information highway" is about to get seriously gate-kept and dwindle into a pay-to-play public library.
