    What’s wrong with AI summaries? AI has it’s uses. A long as it’s just adding some metadata I don’t see nothing wrong with it.

    For me the big questions is what are they going to do to stop bots, spam and internet points farming. So far they didn’t reveal any plans.

      What’s wrong with AI summaries?

      It never stops there though, they never just write their summary and leave it alone they always have to have the AI do more and more until it eventually takes over the entire platform.

      The thing that’s mostly wrong with AI summaries is that people don’t click through to the page the summary summarizes. So those sites don’t get ad revenue. That’s ad revenue is the backbone of the internet for a lot of sites. If there’s no site posting the information then the AI has nothing to summarize and provide an overview of. The pivot to AI LLM’s is likely to kill the companies who aggregate links, and they’re pushing for it hoping to make it profitable in the long term because they’ve been actively enshittifying ad aggregation via search for the purposes of big number must go up (you know, for the shareholders). It’s defeatist to the current business model of most of the internet. And the shareholders do not care so long as they get their money.

        Don’t ad blockers have a similar effect?
