The key question to me is whether AI only undermines the financial incentive to make internet content.
If nobody can expect to make money on the internet, that could be a good thing. But we won't get an indie-web authenticity utopia if people are still incentivized in other ways to filter their intellectual and cultural contributions to the internet through AI.

- Ajedi32 2mo agoMaybe we just need a standardized way to publish a dump of your content to BitTorrent? Remove the incentive to scrape.
- FeteCommuniste 2mo agoIt undermines the social incentive as well if potential creators assume that everyone else will be getting their content through AI. They won't be looking at my stuff, they'll be looking at some LLM's pre-chewed version of it.
