Thanks to AI, half of all searches don’t actually generate any kind of web traffic for the website that produced the search results.

    Wasn’t this already true for those regurgitated clickbait SEO optimized pages that stole views away from the true original source?

    Which will in time mitigate the need for advertising space on websites. As long as AI stays ad-free, maybe the internet will be great again.

    I always click on a link to give them a click. But all my searches are technical and seeing the context inside the page is usually needed. So I’m not the general person.

      I do that because the AI is wrong enough of the time to never be able to trust it.

        True. It does not simply cut and paste. It often rewrites.

    Thank goodness for search engines like startpage that still just gives you links and good results.

      It’s alright. It’s still full of SEO and AI slop but less so than DDG, Google, or Bing

    Accidentally good.

    It kills the click bait page view centric advertising model.

    Thanks to people who made the decision to push AI answers ahead of search results. AI is just a tool.
