I'm curious about the longevity of these sort of collaborations - in the future who is contributing to these knowledge bases? I imagine the communities that surround these places will fade away if new users are unaware of them and content creation begins to halt.

Though I suppose that is a short sighted concern in itself given the way in which we work will begin to evolve quickly as AI becomes more powerful.

In the end, I guess they end up being a positive press story for Google / Open AI / etc.?

It really feels analogous to overfishing or deforestation, where it's very profitable at the moment for whoever is doing the harvesting but then ruins the resource for anyone in the future.

Yeah does the AI then go and upvote or downvote sources to its responses based on the end user feedback?

I mean we already have that with social media posts getting phantom likes and bot comments to give the appearance of "engagement". You know the same playbook will unfold when the CEOs want the numbers or perceived value to go up.
