So google will eventually be mostly indexing the output of LLMs, and at that point they might as well skip the middleman and generate all search results by themselves, which incidentally, this is how I am using Kagi today - I basically ask questions and get the answers, and I barely click any links anymore.

But this also means that because we've exhausted the human generated content by now as means of training LLMs, new models will start getting trained with mostly the output of other LLMs, again because the web (as well as books and everything else) will be more and more LLM-generated. This will end up with very interesting results --not good, just interesting-- akin to how the message changes when kids the telephone game.

So the snapshot of the web as it was in 2023 will be the last time we had original content, as soon we will have stop producing new content and just recycling existing content.

So long, web, we hardly knew ya!
