There's barely any incentive to publish anything online if the main way to interact with the web is through LLMs that don't click ads or mention your name etc
And yet, ironically, we have this post. And sites like Reddit and Substack and the site I'm commenting on right now -- lots of human thought still in circulation on the Internet. The sites he mentioned like Quora are dying for other reasons. And LLMs still pull from all these sources, perhaps more draining than search engines that came before LLMs, but yet we are still here, posting and commenting, I don't see it going away. In fact, I meet more and more friends that are finding their voice on Substack or YouTube or their own blog and producing even more thought content on the web than ever before.
