Hmm. I was thinking about ChatGPT as a successor to Google, then wondered about the successor to SEO. But maybe I'm thinking about the wrong questions.
I am catching up on Overland Journal winter 2022 and noticing a higher level of appreciation for real photos of real things happening, captured by the a real person behind the camera. I understand that "real" can be argued in esoteric ways, but there is something soul-stirring about these that seems remarkably absent from the generated images flooding my online world. I expect that to change, maybe in my lifetime, but let me cling to my old dead tree media and clunky cameras in the meantime.
