I see we are in peak bullshit again. AI will be a force amplifier. great, we get that. I suspect that this kind of vague marketing bollocks will be generated almost without any oversight soon. However there are also risks. Just like calico which used to be a really expensive luxury, and then with empire and colonialism, and later mechanisation became a cheap(er) commodity, LLMs will kneecap whole industries. I think any site that relies on advertising on the web is going to die. This includes google, as they are the gateway to the web, and rely on you using them to answer questions obliquely. This means that the need for web developers and support staff is going to decrease. I think the open web will shrink to ~20% it's present size. It will mostly revert back to hobbyists and people arguing. Things that require up to date data will continue (news, sports, gaming, etc.) Social media will either thrive, or revert to small group chats (think half whatsapp half tiktok/instagram), to get away from autogenerated horseshit. As for streaming TV/movies. AI porn is the canary there. If that takes off, then your kardashians/court reality/low budget drama might feasibly be generated (we are a way off though)

> I think any site that relies on advertising on the web is going to die. What? No. The only known useful application of generative LLMs is to write automatic ad copy. This means the cost of doing advertising will lower dramatically and we'll get more of it. (Mostly "native" ads in places where putting ad copy was previously not economically feasible - e.g., twitter posts, tiktoks, etc.)

  Where is the vast majority of advertising now? on websites. If you are not going to websites anywhere near as much to get info, then the cost per click goes through the roof. Money drains from the system, those websites disappear.

I think a great deal of opportunity is indeed being missed: AI Porn. History shows that you can always sell a lot if you rely on the 7 sins of men, in this case lust. Porn has always been a sort of a pioneer in the tech space anyways but none of the VCs have the agreements in place to invest in such a space. Though I know AI Porn is going to print money. Especially when video generation becomes remotely usable.
