Ask HN: Future of web search wrt AI
In a sense chatGPT is not too different to what Google offers with its 'answer box', perhaps the difference being that there's '10 (ish) blue links' from 3rd parties offering context or verification. chatGPT perhaps has a broader scope but I'm thinking mainly about web search and AI that gets data from web content.
Content creators have had a certain amount of pushback to search engines summarising their info in this way and reducing click throughs to the sources of information.
Is it possible at an AI offering answers can attribute sources and perhaps renumerate them, especially if the AI is a paid service relying on their data?
I've seen recent threads like 'is Stackoverflow dying', 'are forums dying' etc, which essentially point the finger at their traditional traffic sources no longer delivering traffic, yet they're often the primary sources for information.
How does the web move forward ensuring that content creators and consumers of content (and the middle men) all get rewarded?
