> There's no "going back to how things were before" for me - there was no "before"! (...) Life will go on, but the demise of search engines is quite a terrifying prospect for me. Speaking as someone who was born long before the public Internet: you can never go back to how things were before. Similarly, you can never really stay with the way things are now. The world changes. Even if you stick to the ways of your lifetime, or go back to the ways prior to your lifetime, the ways have change simply because the context has changed. I'm not saying that we should jump the AI bandwagon. I'm just saying that we need to recognize the world is in constant flux.
