No clicks, no content: The unsustainable future of AI search

The Web has become completely unusable without uBlock Origin.

Whenever I have to use someone else's computer, or stand up a new one myself, I am reminded of this reality.

If LLMs ruin the economic viability of corporate blogspam, that's a net positive for society in my eyes. One of the few net positives we can expect from the AI bubble, as far as I can tell.

Of course, the new problem is that we have a bunch of LLMs trained on corporate blogspam, producing low-quality information that only feels plausible because of its correct grammar and neutral voice.

What would be the mechanism for that? If anything LLMs make SEO spam almost free to make.

Sadly, uBlock Origin doesn't block my Kagi/Google search results which are 50% AI-generated spam.

By reducing click-through rate, as is the point of the article. If it isn't profitable, it doesn't matter if it's cheap to make.
