The internet may have declined but it's the LLM's that are finishing it off.
I'm still unsure how exactly the LLM's get fed going forward, it's not like the world will remain static once most of the human written websites have shuttered.
- readyplayernull 2y agoGoogle gives priority to sponsored content, so it's guilty of the first damage to the search result quality that they started years ahead of LLMs. Then comes SEO ranking for which LLMs are now being used to game its algorithm, but this used to be done manually years before.
- dageshi 2y agoI am tired of having this argument with people. Google's search engine requires there to be content for them to index and send people to in order for their service to be useful. Google wants useful websites to exist, websites want google to send them traffic. LLM's don't send traffic to websites, as LLM's supplant google there will be fewer and fewer websites because they don't get enough traffic anymore. There is a clear and obvious difference between the two and yet your reply is still "but but google bad!".
- readyplayernull 2y ago> send traffic to websites Yup, mostly sponsored websites, thus killing the Internet. We have complained about this for at least a decade, we are tired too, thus moving to a better knowledge provider like the LLMs is a natural step.
- arp242 2y agoA huge amount of links on HN are just the personal websites of some person expressing their views. Not infrequently these people show up in the comments to engage with people. Bringing on HN specifically as an example is not serious.
