Yeah this was my thought ever since I heard that they saw LLM "search" as the future. "Search" inasmuch as it still exists on Google is already pay-to-play, this is just changing who gets paid.
I agree with this. It also makes me wonder if it would even be possible for a nonprofit or government to train an image generator (for example) to produce more detailed work. The output of a corporation can only be "good enough".
That's good point. I enjoyed the Discovery finale well enough but I also can't deny it definitely felt rushed.
I can't say for sure if I'd prefer a rushed conclusion over a well-considered writing that gets cut short!
