This is the goal. Use your information to make money with no benefit to you.

Accidentally good.

It kills the click bait page view centric advertising model.

Wasn't this already true for those regurgitated clickbait SEO optimized pages that stole views away from the true original source?

Which will in time mitigate the need for advertising space on websites. As long as AI stays ad-free, maybe the internet will be great again.

Yeah I don't really believe it either

I don’t think that’s how it works.

I always click on a link to give them a click. But all my searches are technical and seeing the context inside the page is usually needed. So I'm not the general person.

I do that because the AI is wrong enough of the time to never be able to trust it.

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

True. It does not simply cut and paste. It often rewrites.

Thanks to people who made the decision to push AI answers ahead of search results. AI is just a tool.

Thank goodness for search engines like startpage that still just gives you links and good results.

It's alright. It's still full of SEO and AI slop but less so than DDG, Google, or Bing

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah i agree its not perfect but its better than anything I found so far.
