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

We just need to go back at reading books in libraries

I've written a 125,000-word book a year before GPT-3 was a thing.

If this book came out today, in 2025, how would you know that the 420 pages are actually worth your time and not just a bunch of hallucinated LLM slop?

I've been wondering whether Wikipedia and libraries in 2030 will be in a better overall place quality-wise, or will just be overrun.

The last few times I looked for information on YouTube (by typing a keyword phrase or question instead of looking up a specific channel/creator), most of the top results were AI-narrated presentations. Some of those were filled with comments of people correcting obvious mistakes in the content (which as a layperson I would not have seen as mistakes)

Wikipedia would probably have to deal with its internal politics and frequent-contributor culture before 2030. Wikipedia pages are not too shabby, in expectation. The Wikipedia meta on the other hand is something much less pleasant.
