People will not write books and blogs if they can't pay the bills. If AI xant replace those, you will have no books and blogs. Thats how market works.

> People will also continue to chat with each other... so you'll always have that as a data source.

Your solution takes us back to before invention of the printing oress? the dark ages?

People won’t just write encyclopedia articles for free, right?

Many Wikipedians write for free, indeed.

Most good blogs are part of something else and don't exist for their own sake. If your theory about books were true than the web would have killed them. It turns out having a carefully reviewed hard copy of the information is valuable so people still buy them. I highly doubt AI will change that.
