penworks<p>When you hear someone say that "AI is the future of search" as if it is a great thing, and a foregone conclusion, what they are actually saying is that the doors to any individual blog or website or resources are closing. The digital waypaths to finding sourced content directly are being shuttered and boarded up. That human search via multiple methods utilising various recommender systems is being removed. In favour of a single gateway to pre delivered materials all owned by private monopoly companies. And we are expected to react as if this is a good thing, the "future".</p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/GenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenAI</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/openai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openai</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/extractivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>extractivism</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academia</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archives</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>internet</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/KnowledgeEquity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KnowledgeEquity</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/knowledgecommons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knowledgecommons</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>search</span></a></p>
