Re-visiting this might be a good idea, it's a different set of tools we have available, perhaps there is something out there that can distribute this task and manage reputation.
I mean, this was already heading to be the case pre llm.
The internet was already becoming ad farms. This is the final blow and now the internet as we knew it will die.
I’m not that pessimistic about llm generated content. I’m starting to use it to rewrite my online and slack comments for grammar, I’m also using it for brainstorming, enhancing things I create, code (not as in “ok ai write me an app” but as in “change this code to do this, ok this is not considering x and y edge cases, ok use this other method, ok refactor that” it is saving me a lot of typing and silly mistakes while I focus on the meat of the problem.
It would be hilarious if the end result of all this would be to go back to a 1990s-2000s Yahoo style of web portal where all the links are curated by hand by reputable organizations.
