Is Artificial Intelligence Killing Internet? What's Happening?
Critics say this is a big problem. They fear that if fewer people visit websites, the open internet—where anyone can post, share, and find information might slowly disappear.;
Artificial intelligence is a boom to the industry but the issue is with the kind of logistical and technological challenges that come with it for the human workforce.
There is a growing debate about how AI is changing the way we use the internet. Some people believe AI tools like Google’s AI Overview, OpenAI’s Operator, and Perplexity’s Comet are hurting the open web.
These tools give users quick answers without sending them to the original websites. Because of this, news sites, blogs, and online creators are losing traffic. With fewer visitors, they may earn less money and have a harder time surviving.
Critics say this is a big problem. They fear that if fewer people visit websites, the open internet—where anyone can post, share, and find information might slowly disappear. They also worry that AI could decide what information people see, which might limit different opinions and sources.
However, supporters of AI say this is the future of the internet. They believe AI is making it easier for users to get answers faster and more easily. They also think creators will find new ways to share their content and stay relevant.
As AI becomes more popular, the challenge is to find a balance helping users get useful answers while also supporting the creators and websites that keep the internet alive. The discussion is ongoing.
