#463if everyone is using LLMs to solve problems, in a few years, won't LLMs run out of content to mine? In short, how can the general dumbing down of LLMs and degradation of content used to solve problems be avoided over the long term? For questions about events and problems that arose after 2025, where would LLMs get information to solve those? and who would be asking those at a forum LLMs can access going forward? Is t…

It may not be very long before the big majority of web searches are via AI. If that happens, blocking AI will mean blocking most people too. You’d already be blocking me as I’d guess I now search via AI >90% of the time between perplexity, chatgpt, deep research, and google search AI.
