I see this as a part of the trend towards a bleak future of auto generated low quality generic content flooding the web. It already feels like it has been going on for a long time even though it has not been fully AI-driven before. This is a natural evolution of the direction things are going towards. I believe that non-algorithmic curation and aggregation will become even more important services that people will be willing to pay for.

That's because seo tools have already turned content creators into robots.


Yeah, even human written content is often mostly written for bots and AI atm. Endless pages of drivel to please the SEO ‘experts’ :(


Ironically we may find ourselves back at the curation search engine model, a la the original Yahoo.


I disagree with this perspective as it implies gate-keeping. Making websites easier to create is a good thing. If a tool like this gets more content onto the web then that's a good thing IMHO.

Besides, search engines already deal with a deluge of duplicated and low-quality websites...


Not all content is equal. "More content" does not imply good, useful or even correct.

Pandora's Box has open for a long time, but automation tools now are more convenient and accessible than ever. I shudder to think at the ammount of drivel that will keep flooding the internet. I concede it will be "fun" (for lack of a better word) to see the eventual search algorithm changes necessary to keep the web useful for research. That, or a massive curation effort. The sad thing is, for such a massive body of knowledge, the curation effort itself will have to employ automated tools, and the algorithms for these tools can eventually be cheated to allow for low-effort content as well.


Interesting product, but the examples are weak. I expect AI to personalize landing pages for every visitor in the future. Still, right now, I don't trust it enough to touch my bottom line.


Yeah, I feel we should go in exactly the opposite direction.
