Of course, the only reason AI knows about it is because one human posted it online because they wanted to share a good story with another human

I really worry about AI leading to the information death of the internet. If everyone is getting their info from AI, rather than actually reading websites/blogs/forums, is there any incentive for posting things like this on the internet in the first place?
Even worse, people will discuss/diagnose/troubleshoot with their LLM of choice, some of which will be valuable, and the only way to get access to said information will be through the LLM provider’s paywall. I think we are entering an information dark age, for many reasons, that will likely only get worse from here on.
