It's adorable that people are only slowly realizing that Google search at least fed sites traffic, while chat AI thingies slurp up and summarize content, which they anonymize and feed back, leaving the slurped sites traffic-less and dying. But, innovation.

It is, in a way, a tragedy of the commons problem, with no easy way to police "over grazing" of the information commons, leading to automated over-usage and eventual ecosystem collapse.

@paul Hrm, good thought. I'd hope the AIs would answer and then say something like "For more details see this site ..." or even better "Here's a list of forums/people/orgs as additional resources".
