Who is revolted? I use the AI Google results every day when asking for specific questions, I rarely visit the webpages before anymore. Also Google already injects ads into conversations in the form of Google Shopping affiliate links.

And what do you think this'll do for future LLM models that need to train on new content if web page traffic collapses?

I understand the concern but it's frankly not my problem as a user, that is for the authors and corporations to figure out. No one would (or should) blame car buyers for putting horse and buggies out of business, they're merely participating in the market as a consumer not the producer.

They won't figure it out. It's the tragedy of the commons.

Then that is how it will be, it's a self correcting problem in that if they don't figure it out, their models won't continue improving.

And web sites will collapse along with them. What do you think the 'corrected' state will look like? If you use the web it is your problem.

More people going into insular communities like discord or creating micro sites. Like I said it's a self correcting problem, either it is fixed or it's not. It's not my problem.
