If only everybody had been saying that this would happen the entire time we might’ve been able to avoid a bubble somehow even more stupid than the .com bubble
I mean… where the fuck are the profits supposed to come from? Almost all of the sites AI pulls from require ad revenue to stay afloat, so despite whatever “convenience” you get out of using AI, the sites it pulls from will no longer be able to stay in business if AI stops a significant amount of traffic from ever reaching them. As far as I’m aware, there are no ads on AI sites.
