This may be an unpopular opinnion.. Let me get this straight. We get big tech corporations to read the articles of the web and then summarize to me, the user the info I am looking for. Sounds cool, right? Yeah, except that why in the everloving duck would I trust Google, Microsoft, Apple or Meta to give me the correct info, unbiased and not curated? The past experiences all show that they will not do the right thing. So why is everyone so OK with what's going on? I just heard that Google may intend to remove sources. Great, so it's like trust me bro.

People like AI because searches are full of SEO spam listicles. Eventually they will make LLMs as ad-riddled as everything else.

Then why not use an ad-blocker? It's not wise to think you're getting the right information when you can't verify the sources. Like I said, at least for me, the trust me bro aspect doesn't cut it.

Ad blockers won't cut out SEO garbage.

And the AI will? It will use all websites to give you the info. It doesn’t think, it spins.

I didn't say that it will, just saying that ad blockers won't block it out.
