“These findings follow previous research which concluded that the more people learn about how AI works, the less they trust it.
The opposite was also true — AI’s biggest fans tended to be those who understood the least about the tech.”

We disagree with the general sense of urgency to make generative AI work for our business as a tool for automating our team’s jobs to the point of replacing them altogether.

Reason #4: AI is not good for the web
At a time when websites are already struggling to keep the lights on, AI bots are not only scraping their content without providing fair value for what they take but also pushing web hosting costs up.

AI-assisted work has been shown to weaken critical thinking and lead to dependency.
Workers using AI risk being caught in an efficiency trap where their human agency decays and they lose confidence in their autonomous capabilities.

Google wants to have its ̶c̶a̶k̶e̶ content and eat it too.
Web publishers are the only reason why Google could build an answer engine in the first place, but we are now being starved of the very traffic Google loves to boast about sending our way.

As if this loss of traffic wasn’t enough, websites around the world report experiencing “the great decoupling,” a phenomenon through which impressions in Google Search are trending up while clicks are trending down.
And this is not just us saying it; Google has confirmed this.

Our data shows that nearly four in five web publishers have experienced traffic losses since June 2023, with almost half of all websites analyzed seeing traffic from Google Search dropping by at least 60%.

Since Google partnered with Reddit in a $60 million deal in 2024, Reddit has blown up, with logged-out daily active-unique-visitor numbers rising by 70%.
Which makes sense considering how Google is showing Reddit threads everywhere.
