Yep i agree and it gets even better.<p>In order for AI to actually be usefull as a knowledge aggregator it NEEDS to create the sematic web.<p>The question is if anybody is going to give you acces to their semantic databse though, because im pretty sure that google itself has a nice semantic index alerady.
Plese stop talking about adding semantic annotations to every webpage as "semantic web". Semantic Web was originally to intended to make machine-to-machine communication a first class citizen on the web, to complement a human-friendly web. See <a href="https://videos.cern.ch/record/2671957" rel="nofollow">https://videos.cern.ch/record/2671957</a> if you are interested in a bit of history (this video precedes cloud by ca. 12 years, IoT by 14 years, and digital twins by 18-19 years).<p><i>SOME</i> people assumed this would require annotating human-targeted pages (artificial general intelligence and commonsense reasoning academics). This turned out to be wrong, by the way. IoT enabled machine-to-machine communication all right without annotations, not to mention that your IoT device is not really interested in those semantically annotated fake news posts and cat GIFs anyway. In fact, Wikipedia pages pull in some data from Wikidata, not the other way around (sorry DBpedia).<p>Now, the problem is that most IoT devices from different vendors can't talk to each other unless vendors team up explicitly. That's where semantics (on the API endpoints, for example) could help.
> ChatGPT cannot navigate the web yet, but it will soon. Combining the reading comprehension capability of modern AI systems with web navigation will allow us to have agents roaming the web and finding the information we want.<p>Won't these agents also be influenced or even biased by the prompts they're given? Maybe I am missing something, but when a misleading link based on a suboptimal prompt is formed and reinforced via recurring prompts, how can we make sure that we are getting back the actual connection of pieces of information?
While I agree with the author, there's an issue is that the 'semantic annotations' are centralised within each AI, so if the AI get it wrong, well though luck you can't do anything about it..
