Interesting take on the future of web incentives; even before LLMs, I was often wondering how sustainable the ads model is - it obviously has a ton of tradeoffs.

Maybe we will just go back to pay content as it was before the Internet era? Magazines and such

Perhaps. My worry is that magazines will be full of AI generated content.

I enjoy reading some very niche magazines and, at the moment, I cannot tell if it's AI generated or not. So, as long as the reader is entertained, magazines will do just fine.

Either that, or we will develop some sort of proof that the content is human generated, not AI.

Magazines and such had a lot of ads too
