This assumes a future where users are still depending on search engines or some comparative tool. Profiting off the current status quo. I would also be curious how user behavior will evolve to identify, evade, and ignore AI generated content. Some quasi arms race we'll be in for a long time.
True, but ChatGPT has been interviewed by a national television broadcaster in the UK at least, so I think it broke out of our bubble no later than December 2022: https://youtu.be/GYeJC31JcM0?si=gdmlxbtQnxAvBc1i
This has already been happening for quite some time with users ignoring Google search and searching Reddit directly. The irony is that, I assume, most of Reddit's income right now is coming from content licensing deals with AI companies.
