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

I don't understand why all these companies want to replace links to human curated high quality information with slightly more convenient to access AI hallucinations. Whenever I have an important question, the AI generated answer is only useful to the extent that it provides links (i.e. search).

Human curated high quality information on google is getting rare, its as simple as that.

There is a renaissance of extremely high quality YouTube videos from creators with very few subscribers. Particularly in Math and Science content.

But the general web is full of a lot really bad websites that effectively just waste people's time.

Most of the high quality human content has already been drowned out by the low quality human content for clicks. AI does the filtering process for me now. I'm using AI because greedy humans already made it bad and it's a really good tool to have in the current environment

Have you heard the economic maxim that bad forces out good? Because that basically already happened to high quality human curated content. Just look at reviews. The good ones are buried under floods of crap. Professional reviewers (in the qualtity sense) were already displaced long before the plague of sponsored influencers.
