recently I had a thought that the AI revolution will actually be a good thing for the web.

it kills SEO advertising. someone writing an article for the purpose of ranking high and making money off of clicks doesnt get clicks anymore because of AI summaries.

direct content-to-ad-revenue is dead. Either you're a hobbyist and write for the heck of it - so your writing will be honest and better quality. Or, you're a product vendor and your writing is documentation meant to be found by AI summaries, again - that's honest.

Once profit is gone, love is all left.

If the AI people win, there will be no human audience for your writing. I don't think people will write simply to benefit someone else's subscription-funded service.
