Still sounds like an advertising racket, except instead of paying Google to show ads, companies will pay Google to include an ad script in its AI responses. The extreme case scenario is that websites no longer exist and all Internet searches are queries to a highly regulated AI agent with zero transparency. I doubt it will get exactly that far, but the closer we get the more harm we do to accessibility of the sum total of human knowledge

Agreed. But also, it’s a good way to communicate complex ideas quickly like Darmak and Jalaad. And many novel ideas come from “What if (blank) did (thing) but differently?” Like a huge portion of art history is just artists doing something another artist did in a different way.
