I don't want to throw yet more GenAI crap at this, but could RAG be a possible innovation that unlocks microtransactions? I'm imagining a backend database of creator-submitted content. The LLM runs RAG on it, pays the creators it relied on to synthesize answers a microtransaction. Then also sells the Q-and-A as a subscription service to the end user. Maybe payouts are conditional on positive user feedback. The solution can also flag queries it sees that don't have great answers yet. Same moat as search, not reliant on advertising.

That sounds like you're describing Mechanical Turk? (And also "let's train an LLM on Reddit/StackOverflow). Problem is, the humans in Mechanical Turk loop were economically motivated to outsource to AI even before LLMs.
