I’ve been saying this for some time now: AI is going to kill so many business models because it’s really great at creating summaries.

You don’t even need a huge cloud-basrd AI! Local AI—running on your PC—can search the web, summarize the news (and Wikipedia articles), and perform similar tasks without a human ever visiting the site.

It’s like having your own personal secretary that you can tell to go do stuff.

I think it’s going to kill free search engines because it can go do a search on all of them at once in seconds and no human will ever see those ads.

If you think AI is going to stay without ads/subscriptions for much longer you’re not paying attention
