Do we still need the world wide web?

Much of the article worries if AI generated content farms will ruin the web. Then moves to AI and data analysis.

I recall just a few weeks back reading about a new released feature for one of the later LLMs, it was given an example data set and tasked to summarise the data for a defined set of parameters, and the author was impressed.

The obvious question is do present content farms really do great things for the web? Obviously there are consumers who will have a view on AI generated content when it eventually matures to be good enough.

Next I'd say people like myself, who aim to land more on websites that just work, has texty stuff that's informative or to the point without the three pages of fluff, is no nonsense - AI tools probably will be used to generate sites that are the opposite to that. :(

But AI ultimately when it's mature, will be put to use to do good, and I figure there will be eventually a company, or two, that runs an AI web guide, that'll screen links and only activate and highlight links that meet our set preferences. Maybe even a proper AI powered search engine that will take a lot of work out of navigating for web in search of honest answers and screen out hard to spot scam, spam or misinformation that has been carefully inserted in a few hundred different places using it's pattern recognition abilities.
