These takes are gonna age like milk. The new world is one where someone can have an LLM assisted insight, post it on their blog for free, have it indexed by every agentic search engine, and it becomes part of the zeitgeist. That’s the new data that’ll feed the new models: a better information diet over time. And
guess what else: models are getting better at identifying - at scale - the high quality info that’s worth using as training data. |

There is a huge difference between giving eggs to your neighbours and sending them to a breakfast restaurant in another state. A connection is made between you and the neighbors. A community forms around it.
What would be the point of having a machine write your thoughts so they can shift a model's weights by infinitesimal amounts? How would that compare to building a small following, getting reader mail, and maybe even meeting a few of them?
My website is used as training data. I get nothing from it. The AI twists words I have carefully selected, misleads people, and strips me of the fruit of my labour. If I lost my entire audience, I would stop doing that work.
Moreover, there is a cost to producing high quality information. Research alone takes a long time when you're putting information online for the first time. I wouldn't do it for a vague chance of affecting the Zeitgeist.
