Google’s vision for the future of search shows how generative AI is all about increasing corporate power.

Instead of sending you to different websites, Google has scraped the open web to generate plagiarized answers to keep you looking at ads on Google. We need to stop being distracted by AI hype and fantasies about intelligent machines, so we can push back on the real threats before it’s too late.

@parismarx From a practical viewpoint, I don’t want to visit a dozen websites myself to research information. If an AI bot gives me a good answer from a thousand sources instead, I’m all for it. Elicit is already saving me hours of research today and I just discovered ResearchRabbit. These wouldn’t exist without GPT and GPT wouldn’t exist without all the data on the net.
And I am still paying for three newspapers, there is still a profitable market for good journalism.
