“AI is going to fill the web with garbage. How are we going to deal with that? “
Is an excellent question. I genuinely worry about that. Several years ago, if you’re good at searching by keywords you can sift through low quality content and get to the reasonable sources easily. Then came the SEO spam. Blogs and articles that repeated content to appease the bots, but annoyed the users searching for content. Now, AI is going to put it on steroids. We are going to have LLMs search the web for us and eliminate results that look like they were generated by LLMs. What a pity state of the internet that will be.

Even at the peak of the layoffs and return to office turmoil, the all hands were held like nothing is happening.

Win, win.
