The implications of denying search traffic to websites that depend on it for revenue, I imagine, go without saying, but we’re 2,000 words deep into this thing already so we might as well get into it. This model may work for Google, and Google users, for games that are already on shelves. If someone searches for advice on Cyberpunk 2077’s Dex vs Evelyn decision in 20 years, Google’s ML models will be able to provide it. But what about the games of the future? What are you going to train the machine-learning models of tomorrow on when you’ve put all the guides teams out of work, the websites they used to write for have gone out of business, and no new ones have stepped into the void because you’ve shown there’s not a penny to be made from producing content for Google’s robot army to steal? Where’s the fucking future in that?

@gamingonlinux It becomes the ouroboros. AI produces content that gets digested by other AI, then to other AI, then around in a loop.

Does this mean that we end up with a state of entropy decay or chaotic fractals? I don’t know.

But it’s clear that AI machines need fresh content more than the content creators need AI.

@gamingonlinux One way to fight back is to poison the well so to speak. https://mashable.com/article/world-of-warcraft-wow-reddit-ai-glorbo

@gamingonlinux I am a known google hater in my circles but I truuuuuuly believe the number one threat to folks making a living on the internet is googles stranglehold on search and ads.

Bust em up. Bust em up. BUST EM UP.
