Perhaps ChatGPT's inherent flaws will drive www users to use newspaper websites instead. This could be a win for journalism, which seems to be the adversary (not the partner^1) of Silicon Valley.<p>1. Except for all the "tech"-columnists pumping out marketing gibberish<p>Assuming the lawyers for the newspapers were smart enough to retain the right to serve the news without "AI", i.e., they did not agree to funnel users to ChatGPT via their own websites, they become the only authoritative sources, what with www search engine indexes no longer publicly searchable, queries for specific resources having been replaced with "prompts" to word soup generators.<p>With the absurd limits on number or search results and now this "AI" nonsense, I've been preparing to transition away from the popular www search engines toward searching only websites of selected publishers, i.e., authoritative sources. Cut out the middleman. I do all searching from the command line and create mixed SERPs over time, similar to the "metasearch" concept but using site-specific search for non-commercial content instead of www search engines. It has been working well for me.
