"this was literally the mission statement of the semantic web" which most everyone either ignored or outright rejected, but thanks for forcing it on us anyway?

I guess if my options for getting a ramen recipe are

- Search for it and randomly click on SEO spam articles all over the place, riddled with ads, scrolling 10,000 lines down to see a generally pretty uninspired recipe

or

- Use an LLM and get a pretty uninspired recipe

I don't really see much difference.

And we were already well past the days where I got anything other than the first option using the web.

There was a brief window were intentionally searching specific sites like reddit/hn worked, but even that's been gone for a couple years now.

The best recipe is going to be the one you get from your friends/family/neighbors anyways.

And at least on the LLM side - I can run it locally and peg it to a version without ads.

It's crazy how appealing the irl version you mentioned is, compared to the online version. Looking through a book, meeting people and sharing recipes, etc. The world you're interacting with actually cares about you. Feels like the net can't ever have that now.
