With the amount of synthetic content that is already on the internet, and with even more to come, I think we'll unfortunately need to find a way to automatically filter that content to only what is really relevant to us.

People are using AI to create incredible amounts of SEO content, to the point where just using Google to find something is becoming increasingly useless. If, on the other hand, you had an AI agent that automatically filtered out all of the noise, you could still find the real information you need. What would be even better is if the agent could learn about the things you find interesting, and the things you'd rather avoid.

Now the question is: do you want to have control over such agents and the data they need, or would you rather let some centralized entity manage them for you?

You are missing an important fact: the SEO team and the Generative team are being funded from the same pocket. So it highly unlikely that the generator will do anything similar to protecting the user from bigcorp's spam, ads, and dark interfaces.
