yes but no, generated blurbs by the search engine itself to answer user searched questions (how average joe uses google) will kill seo; you can make a million generated articles but almost no one will read them if google provides the user with a generated answer conveniently without having to trawl several links. you get no ad revenue if you get no clicks

on the content side of things i don't think people will notice

for example, i have no need for a sports app or website to check the box score of a game, i just type in the name of the team into google and it's there at the top of the page

i don't think this is widely adopted though, most people i know are still married to the idea of having an app than using their mobile browser, it will take some time (or a stellar marketing campaign for the google and bing apps)

So AI will summarize what other AI has written?
