Instead of displaying links, Arc Search's “Browse for Me” feature reads the first handful of pages and summarizes them into a single, custom-built, Arc-formatted web page using large language models from OpenAI and others. Critics say that's a problem.
Does that mean you (and me) end up drowning in a pool of 90% AI dead internet comments while everyone who stayed on Reddit or Facebook can talk to their friends in their WEI tracked & profiled walled garden?
Shitty choice.
The only solution I can see it robust moderation tools on a platform like Lemmy.
AI still gets to read everything but at least individuals/communities/instances can be blocked for bad behaviour.
What altertatives do we have right now?
