so, status quo? this sort of content only has value because google links to it when people search, and because google runs an ad network that allows monetizing it. google is also working furiously to provide these same AI-generated answers in their SERP, so they can eliminate this and monetize the answers directly instead of paying out to random third parties.
i'm pretty skeptical that this ai-generated content will ever be monetizable in the way the article suggests, simply because google is better at it. if you're a human making your living by writing articles that are indistinguishable from ai-generated content, then you might be harmed by this but for most people this inflection point is not going to be a noticeable change.
