AI is killing the web. Can anything save it?”

When LLMs replace ads and subscriptions as the web’s lifeblood, what fills the void? And what if Google and Wikipedia fade into the background?
Sure, we all hate ads, but like it or not, they do work to sustain things, and V4V models have so far not proven to be economically viable for a business (although it does work great for SN)!

I just opened this post in a private window with tor and I saw:
  1. No ads
  2. No paywall
  3. Every word in your post
So the solution to your problem is to post. Just post. Post here, post on your self-hosted blog. Start an email list for all I care.
But whatever you do, don't be a sheep and use only LLMs.

Had to duckduckgo to learn what LLMs are! Never use Google. Maybe I missed something but we all make choices to some extent...while to some extent algorithms are increasingly powerful...we can choose to some extent too...even if the algorithms know most people are lazy sheep. Thank god for linux and Bitcoin. Imo AI is somewhat over hyped but time will tell.

V4V is working in a lot of places. Stacker news isn't the only place on the internet that we can use Bitcoin. Look at the whole V4V music and podcasting space.
Yes, there are failures, but there are failures with everything.
