Not a super well thought out article. Example: lots of speculative complaints that ChatGPT will lead to an explosion of low quality and biased editorial material, without a single mention of what that problem looks like today (hint: it was already a huge problem before ChatGPT).
Ditto with the “ChatGPT gave me wrong info for a query” complaint. Well, how does that compare to traditional search? I’m willing to believe a Google search produced better results, but it seems like something one should check for an article like this.
IMO we’re not facing a paradigm change where the web was great before and now ChatGPT has ruined it. We may be facing a tipping point where ChatGPT pushes already-failing models to the breaking point, accelerating creation of new tools that we already needed.
Even if I’m wrong about that, I’m very confident that low quality, biased, and flat out incorrect web content was already a problem before LLMs.
