oh, sure. NYT could go, we could replace it with AI generated garbage with non-verifiable information without sources. AI changed the landscape. Google search would be working less reliable because real publishers would be hiding info behind the login (twitter/reddit). I.e. sites would be harder to index. There would be a lot of AI generated garbage which would be hard to filter out. AI generated review articles, AI generated news promoting someones agenda. Only to have a chatgpt which could randomly increase their price 100 times anytime in the future.
There was outrage about Amazon removing DPReview site recently. But, it would be a common practice not to publish code/info, which could be used to train the model of another company. So, expect less open source projects, that companies just released because they were feeling like it could be good for everyone.
Actually, there is the use case that NYT would become more influential and important, because if 99% of all info is generated by AI and search is not working anymore, we would have to rely on the trusted sources to get our info. In the world of garbage, we would have to have some sources of verifiable human-generated info.
