Will we be searching the internet for content that an AI can write?

For example: If I can ask an AI to make me a cake recipe, find an error in my code or tell me about the Hindenburg disaster, and the response is faster, more accurate and easier to read than what I’d typically find on Google, then maybe I simply won’t use Google for that anymore (especially since with the AI, I can ask follow-up questions...)

So maybe bad actors using AI to generate their content will just be yelling into the void. (Until their content gets picked up and incorporated by my AI in its next training session.)

Maybe the APIs for generating that AI content will include paragraphs to advertise their content free-form in the prose and not neatly separated to where you can block the ad.

The tech allows for seamless integration of ads.

I really like this take. Maybe the mid-term future direction for search engines is finding and surfacing novel thought past the reach of the AI models.

Probably implemented by asking a model if the content is novel to the model ...
